Yellowhead County will be removing its Evacuation Order as of 6:00 PM today for the Marlboro and Millers Lake areas and south of Highway 16 in Yellowhead County. This area, however will remain under a 4-hour evacuation alert area. We have confirmed that Highway 16 between Edson and Hinton is open.

A few things of note as you return. Most importantly, drive safe and take your time getting back. Stagger your re-entry if possible.

For more re-entry tips and information, please check out the re-entry package that will be posted on our website. The package includes safety information, insurance information, and a list of contact numbers for utility services.

Please call the Emergency Coordination Centre at 1-833-334-4630 for any questions about the re-entry.

County residents should check utilities on arrival to ensure everything is operational. If you have utility concerns, please contact your service provider as soon as possible.

Services such as grocery services, pharmacies, and gas stations should re-open as soon as possible, but residents need to be prepared for a reduction in service until staff are in place.
