2 properties in Electoral Area ‘E’ evacuated over landslide risk, B.C. officials say

Officials ordered two properties in Electoral Area "E" evacuated due to landslide risk on Dec. 19, 2025.

Officials have ordered two properties in B.C.’s Fraser Valley to evacuate immediately, citing “danger to life safety” due to the risk of a landslide in the area.

The Fraser Valley Regional District issued the evacuation order Friday afternoon for 49269 and 49279 Chilliwack Lake Rd., both located in Electoral Area “E.”

“You must leave the property immediately,” the order reads.

Anyone at the properties should gather their critical belongings—such as medicines, wallets and insurance policies—then close their doors and windows and flee, officials said.

Gates should be latched but not locked, and pets should be taken away in kennels or on leashes, according to the order.

If the owners or occupants are not home, they should stay away, officials said. FortisBC will handle turning off natural gas, if needed.

The evacuation order was issued under a local state of emergency that was declared last week, as an atmospheric river was causing flooding, rockslides and other problems in the Lower Mainland.
