FREDERICTON -- Rising floodwaters have forced the closure of at least 35 roads in New Brunswick, where the premier is urging residents to do what they can to protect their families and property.
"We won't hesitate to declare a state of emergency if public safety demands it," Blaine Higgs told a news conference Sunday in Fredericton, the community that appears to be dealing with the most challenges as the Saint John River keeps rising.
"I must stress that this is a very hazardous and difficult situation and we are certainly not out of the woods," Higgs said.
