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. 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 22.5 km upstream of the Hwy 2 bridge on the afternoon of February 8. Temperatures this week are forecast to be well above seasonal, and local consolidations of the ice cover are likely upstream of the Town. 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.
