St. Norbert Continues Flood Preparations
Check out an aerial view of this flood risk area!
St. Norbert is located south of Winnipeg's perimeter highway
along Highway 75. Both the Red and LaSalle rivers flow near this
community. Houses located on the banks of the Red in this area have
been sandbagged before. This year's expected water levels are said
to be beyond what has been experienced by residents in the past.
As seen above, in some areas, the Red is already lapping up on
residential property. As seen below, other locations along the banks
have additional time to become prepared.
Please remember: Many of the images you will see contain the
homes of people who have been uprooted from their families, homes,
and livelihoods. They need your help NOW. Please contact your LOCAL
RED CROSS and tell them you wish to donate to the FUND FOR MANITOBA
