(6 May 2017 - Saint John)
In New Brunswick, the authorities say that water levels in the south of the province are now above historical levels in 1973 as the St. John River level continues to rise.
The Emergency Measures Organization warns that the flood has not yet arrived in the south of the province and explains that water is increasing slowly, but steadily.
The northern regions of New Brunswick are also closely monitored, particularly in Edmundston.
The level of the Madawaska River is increasing as a result of increased water flow at the Témiscouata Dam in Quebec and because of the high levels of the Saint John River.
So far, 975 people have evacuated their homes across the province and registered with the Red Cross.
The authorities are also concerned about the risk of water contamination in some areas, since the flood waters may be contaminated with sewage, with sewer and water systems being saturated, warned the director. Emergency Measures Organization, Greg MacCallum.
The provincial government says it is consulting with the RCMP, the Canadian Armed Forces and the Canadian Coast Guard, which continues to assist the province, "with respect to relief needs".
Boats are also patrolling the affected areas to ensure the safety of the victims, say the authorities.
The Trans-Canada Highway remains closed between Moncton and Fredericton in both directions. Highway 10 between Chipman and Fredericton is now closed.
Nearly 800 NB Power customers have been disconnected due to flooding. The company is asking residents who plan to evacuate their homes to call for emergency disconnection because "turning off the circuit breaker is not enough".
Meanwhile, the strong winds that swept the east of the country, including New Brunswick, caused blackouts across the province on Friday and Saturday. At 2:00 pm Sunday, 785 NB Power customers were still without power - in addition to emergency disconnects - and 47 crews were working to repair infrastructure and manage the flood situation.
