Description: Alberta Emergency Alert- River Freeze-up Advisory for the Peace River at the Town of Peace River. Updated

The River Freeze-up Advisory remains in effect. River levels on the Peace River at the Town of Peace River have risen in response to the formation of the ice cover. The formation of a river ice cover during winter freeze-up will result in a gradual increase in water levels. As the ice cover forms, ice jams can occur which may result in rapidly changing water levels

The ice front on the Peace River was located about 9 km upstream of the Hwy 2 bridge on the morning of January 28. Water levels may continue to fluctuate as the ice cover stabilizes through the Town of Peace River.

Action to take:

• Be cautious of the rising water levels and take appropriate precautionary measures.
