Guest Commentary:

Eastend Flood Preparation – a Job Very Well Done

Even well-intended weather predictions are at best “educated guesses”. So it's not

surprising that spring time flood predictions, which depend on the weather, are even

less reliable. As of today (April 20), the Frenchman River is expected to peak some-

time next week. But what time the peak will occur and what “peak” actually means

are both in the hands of God. And, not surprisingly, reactions range from “the sky is

falling in” to level headed contemplation and preparation.

Given the large amount of snow still on the fields upstream of Eastend and the seem-ingly late arrival of spring, comparisons to prior floods are unavoidable. I was not aresident of Eastend for either the late 90s flood or the flood of 52. But, from what I

gather talking to folks more familiar with those events, the current situation is sig-

nificantly different.

The comparison in the media and on the street to the 1952 flood is inevitable. In 52,

the reservoir dam just upstream from Eastend was breached. However, this is not

1952. Since then, significant changes have been made to the dam. And, VERY im-

pressively, three levels of government have moved quickly to provide funding for a

flood wall along the town side of the Frenchman River. To really appreciate the

speed with which this happened, you need to be a resident of Eastend.

Two weeks ago, residents received a flyer indicating that work would begin on thewall. At that time, the wall was to be 300 metres long, running from the Highway 13

bridge south to the railway track. Today, not only is that stretch complete, but so is a

much longer section north of the bridge. In total, the entire flood wall is roughly a

kilometre long and, in places, several meters high. Countless truck loads of fill were

hauled into place, packed and graded in two weeks.

Hat's off to Premier Brad Wall's government for releasing funds very quickly and to

MLA Wayne Elhard and Eastend Mayor Scott Morvik for working together quicklyand effectively to address a potentially serious problem. Thanks also to the crew that

worked hard to get the wall in place.

In the preparation for flood, please

attend to all outdoor propane tanks.

Secure them well or bring them in-doors. Be sure each tank is completely

turned off and does not leak.
