Mayor Chris Friel declared the state of emergency this morning and is imploring people to leave their homes, and to stay away from the river banks.
Fast-moving water and chunks of ice are swelling the banks and damaging bridges in the city of almost 100.000 residents.
Police are also requesting people keep their drones on the ground as the airspace is getting crowded and they’re interfering with the emergency response.
