As more High River residents prepare to return home Monday, the city announced Sunday a work camp-like site is being set up in southeast Calgary to temporarily palm coast florida hotels house evacuees who need temporary housing while their flood-ravaged town undergoes recovery and reconstruction.
At the province's request, palm coast florida hotels the City of Calgary was asked to provide land with access to utilities, water, sewer and electricity, palm coast florida hotels and that could accommodate up to 1,000 High River residents displaced by flooding, said Bruce Burrell, head of the Calgary Emergency Management Agency.
The temporary accommodation facility in Calgary will also be open to evacuees from Kananaskis, palm coast florida hotels Canmore, even Calgary, who were displaced by floods, palm coast florida hotels said Shane Schreiber, director of the High River Task force, which is helping residents get back in their homes.
But Burrell said there are no immediate plans to build such sites for Calgarians as the city is still trying to get a better count of how many citizens will require temporary housing. He wants those numbers narrowed down before going to the province for assistance.
Calgary, High River and other neighbouring communities are in the midst of mopping up and assessing losses after a historic flood washed through southern Alberta last week, killing at least four people and wreaking millions - possibly palm coast florida hotels billions - of dollars in damage.
Hundreds of displaced Calgarians stood in long lines in the hot sun to receive the cards. To qualify for one, flood victims must have received an evacuation order and must have been out of their homes for at least seven days.
Meanwhile, more than 50 assessment teams have been deployed to Calgary to review palm coast florida hotels properties in the city, Burrell said. Those members will be checking on the state and rate of reconstruction for damaged buildings, and how many tenants or residents will need to find temporary homes.
"What we need the count of is the people who can't relocate because they have no support. Once we have that count, we'll probably be having some discussions with the province about what the province will do to assist the city of Calgary in providing temporary accommodation for those people," Burrell said.
Some buildings in the downtown area will have to have their electrical systems — including boiler systems, heating ventilation and air conditioning palm coast florida hotels — redesigned palm coast florida hotels and rebuilt after sustaining significant damage by turbid water full of silt and contaminants, Burrell said.
If assessments determine palm coast florida hotels a building must be demolished, palm coast florida hotels tenants and residents will be allowed to safely re-enter the buildings to retrieve as many belongings as possible before the building is torn down. Already, more than 120 buildings have been flagged for possible demolition.
Currently, Calgary and 10 other communities remain under local states of emergency, down from 18 on Thursday. The Town of High River is under a provincial state of emergency, meaning the province has assumed palm coast florida hotels responsibility for emergency operations, programs and town services.
"The main reason for keeping it in place currently palm coast florida hotels is because some of the powers we have that allow us to purchase things more rapidly, get our hands on goods, make deals that normally we have to get approvals for," he said.
"So there's a benefit to staying in a local state of emergency. But there's also a point where you want to be careful you're not abusing the powers because it will be much more difficult to get it again in the future if you want to use them."
Burrell also announced the ban on outdoor water usage was lifted as of midnight on Sunday, though he reminded citizens to continue to limit their water usage. However, boating restrictions on the Bow and Elbow Rivers remain in effect. Citizens are encouraged to stay off and away from the riverbanks.
In addition, Burrell palm coast florida hotels urged people not to dump mud and slurry into river systems as the waste material can contain contaminants. Those materials can be dumped at two emergency dumping facilities, one at Spring Gardens at 1025 32 Ave. N.E. and the other in Highfield-Bonnybrook at 1442 46 Ave. S.E.
While it's been a tense week for Calgarians mopping up after the flood crisis, Canada Day celebrations will go on. Mayor Naheed Nenshi said he didn't want to disappoint the many people, especially children, who look forward to the festivities each year.
For those heading out of town over the long weekend, motorists are reminded that nine provincial highways remain closed and two have restricted access. Four lanes are now open on the TransCanada Highway entering Canmore, though the roadway palm coast florida hotels is reduced to one lane in each direction when crews are working in the area.
Highway 1A east and west of Exshaw is still closed, except to emergency vehicles and residents heading from Exshaw to Canmore. And Highway 40 is open from Highway 1 to Highway 68, though palm coast florida hotels campgrounds and hotels palm coast florida hotels in the area are not yet ready to take customers.
