The Ministry of Natural Resources has extended a Flood Warning for the Lake Temagami area and along the shoreline of Lake Nipissing.

What this means:

• Water levels are high and flooding is already happening in some areas.
• Additional flooding is still possible, especially if weather conditions change.
• Shorelines, riverbanks, and low-lying areas are at risk.

What residents should do:

• Stay alert and keep a close watch on local conditions.
• Keep children and pets away from the water and supervise them at all times.
• Be careful near shorelines—they may be slippery and unstable.
• If you live in a low-lying or flood-prone area, prepare for possible flooding.
• Watch for updates from Environment Canada and local authorities.

Water conditions:

• Water levels remain above normal and are slowly decreasing, but still high.
• Wind can push water onto shore, increasing the risk of flooding.
• Debris such as logs and docks may be floating in the water.

Boating and recreation:

• Use extreme caution when boating, kayaking, or using personal watercraft.
• Stay away from dams, fast-moving water, and floating debris.
• Avoid creating large waves near shorelines, which could cause damage.

Important reminder: Even though little rain is currently forecast, conditions can change quickly. High water levels mean the area remains vulnerable.

Definitions:

• Flood Warning: Flooding is happening or expected very soon.
• Flood Watch: Flooding could happen.
