Emergency Declared as Roads Collapse | Ottawa News
Description
Minegoziibe Anishinabe First Nation in western Manitoba has declared a state of emergency as washed-out roads isolate the community, cutting off essential services — and with more than 30 nearby towns in the Parkland region facing similar devastation, the province reports 50 roads underwater or destroyed. With mandatory evacuations already in place in Swan River and worsening weather on the horizon, residents brace for airlifts of food and fuel as volunteers burn out after a month of relentless sandbagging. Mayors and officials are urgently calling for federal military aid and emergency supplies, knowing recovery will be long and costly — all while fresh storms hit communities still reeling from flooding just three weeks ago.
