Two Canadian communities have declared emergencies due to potential flooding. They expect to evacuate people.

Peguis First Nation's chief said the emergency was declared because flooding is now certain.

Water levels will exceed the river banks soon. The community will need to evacuate.

The flood might be like the one in 2022, which forced over 1,000 people to leave.

The flooding will be bad, but it's not clear when it will happen.

The severity of the flood depends on temperature and recent snowfall. The community is preparing.

Fisher River Cree Nation also declared an emergency on Saturday.

The community is protecting homes with sandbags and special dams.

The health and safety of residents are at risk due to severe flooding.

The emergency declaration will help the community get resources and funding.

Schools will only close if the chief and council say so.

The chief told residents to stay calm and not call the flood center too much.

An evacuation plan is being finalized.

The community will meet to ensure people are cared for and will share the evacuation plan.

The Canadian Red Cross is helping prepare for spring flooding.

The Canadian Red Cross is filling sandbags and providing equipment to help the community.

They are working with another charity to place sandbags and flood barriers.

Residents should check the community's website or Facebook for updates.
