DU DIABLE RIVER: MINOR FLOODING RISK FOR THE NEXT 72 HOURS (Updated 2020-12-23 16:49)
If your home is located in an area at risk of flooding (see list below), we suggest that you remain on the alert. Ensure that you have secured anything on your property that could be carried away by the high water. Be sure to move all your valuables upstairs and to place chemical products where they are safe from the water. Assemble your 72-hour emergency kit.
Make sure that you have identified a place where you could take refuge should you need to evacuate, bearing in mind the social distancing rules in effect. Ideally, this place should be located in the Laurentians – the MRC des Laurentides – because of COVID-19.
More information will follow as the situation evolves.

MUNICIPAL WATCH
The Ville de Mont-Tremblant will keep a close eye on the flood situation. As soon as the level of the Diable River shows early signs of flood risk, the Ville will take readings of the river level in three places. The Ville website and Facebook page will be updated daily to indicate the flood risk.
