報道要點

卑詩林業廳初步報告指出，Pear Lake山火受災地部分區域的滑坡、洪水及泥石流風險高，道路、鐵路與物業尤其需要關注。該火災今年燒過Clinton周邊逾1,600平方公里，毀壞超過一百處建築。

背景與影響

Thompson Nicola區域局表示，火災後頭兩年風險較高，降雨及春季融雪會加劇隱患，重點是溪河牀附近、陡坡底部及上方嚴重燒燬地形的住戶。燒燬後的排水系統與土壤吸水能力改變，可能使雨水更快沿地表流動。

仍待確認

當地牧場業者說，上月雨後灰燼雜物堵塞溪流，曾造成道路約一天無法通行，附近亦出現滑坡，其後已清理。省府更詳細風險報告預計12月完成；現階段屬於初步評估，不代表每處物業已被判定須撤離。
