The recent storm that brought floodwaters and high winds has also caused a failure to communicate, as it knocked out telecom lines in the region, including the Penticton RCMP non-emergency line.
The local RCMP non-emergency line, city of Penticton phone lines at city hall and the community rec centre, Penticton BC SCPCA and others have all been affected by the storm’s damage.
On Monday, the RDOS’ emergency operations centre phone line was down.
