B.C. resident weighs leaving as slow\u002Dmoving landslide threat returns
The residents of Old Fort, just outside Fort St. John, have been on evacuation alert since Friday evening.Ground movement has again been detected near the subdivision, affecting the only road access in and out of the area, the Peace River Regional District says in the alert.
“The ground movement has created difficulty for the Ministry of Transportation to maintain the road in a safe and passable condition, and the likelihood, duration and speed of continued ground movement is unpredictable at this time,” the alert says. When residents were forced to leave in 2018 because of a slow-moving slide at the same location, they couldn’t return for weeks, he said.
