Manitoba's Hydrologic Forecast Centre have increased the High Water Advisory to a Flood Warning for the Assiniboine River, from Shellmouth Dam to Brandon. Significant precipitation in western Manitoba has caused water levels to exceed channel capacity in areas along the Assiniboine River, resulting in minor to major flooding. Water levels that have exceeded channel capacity can be expected to flood adjacent areas, agricultural fields and infrastructure in the area.

Be aware and exercise caution near waterways in the affected area. Do not attempt to cross fast flowing waters or waters of unknown depth. Avoid flooded areas. Follow directions by the local authorities. Up-to-date information is available at www.gov.mb.ca/flooding and www.manitoba511.ca or stay tuned to local media.
