Township declares state of emergency due to flooding hazards

The Township of Carling declared a state of emergency after significant rainfall caused flooding and damage.

A major rain storm over the weekend caused road infrastructure damage in the Township of Carling, prompting officials to declare a state of emergency.

While several closed roads have since reopened, the Township urges motorists to exercise extreme caution, particularly near road edges, and to be alert for changing conditions.

Roads may be passable, the Township notes, but could still contain erosion at various points.

Municipal crews are working to repair the damaged roadways. The Township asks residents to avoid non-essential travel in affected areas.
