The Village of Cache Creek has turned to crowdfunding platform blackpress4good.com in order to raise money to assist in the aftermath of Saturday’s disastrous flooding. “Lots of people were working on different fundraising projects,” said Cache Creek councillor Wyatt McMurray, “and we decided that

it needed to be focussed and under one umbrella.” Cache Creek declared a state of emergency Sunday after a flash flood raged through the town Saturday. Hail, thunder and lightning unleashed 20-plus millimetres of water in the town, causing the waterways including the Bonaparte
River to overflow its banks sending a torrent of water gushing through the streets carrying logs, silt and debris from the surrounding hills. The streets became rivers and water flooded the ground floors of many homes and lifted cars out of driveways. A major concern is that many of the homes damaged by the floods will not be covered by
insurance. Nearly 100 people from the community of 1,000 have registered at a temporary emergency relief headquarters. The campaign will be managed by staff from the Village of Cache Creek with 100 per cent of the funds raised going to residents affected by the flood.
