HALIFAX New Brunswick launched their annual River Watch program on Wednesday as warm temperatures begin to approach. The 2020 freshet was a welcome respite after two record-breaking years, said Hugh J. Flemming, New Brunswick s Justice and Public Safety Minister. It would be a mistake, however, to count on another year of minor impact. The program – a collaboration between the Department of Environment and Local Government and the Department of Justice and Public Safety s New Brunswick Emergency Measures Organization – provides information to New Brunswickers about potential ice jams, the status of rivers, and other flood issues across the province. Each morning, River Watch officials, including hydrology experts, receive a weather briefing and collect data from several sources to develop river models and forecasts. The public is then informed if there are potential threats, wrote the province in a news release on Wednesday.
