Sudbury declares flood state of emergency

The flooding has already impacted several low-lying areas, prompting residents to remain on high alert through the end of April.

Warmer weather and forecasted rain are expected to exacerbate the situation, with officials warning of potential road washouts.

A similar state of emergency has been declared in nearby West Nipissing, where multiple highways have already been closed.

Conservation authorities are monitoring the situation closely and have issued warnings that will remain in effect until at least April 27.
