Voluntary evacuation of Big Lake
03/13/2019

(KLZA)-- Richardson County Emergency Management reports that a voluntary evacuation is underway at Big Lake, Missouri.

Richardson County Emergency Management was in contact Wednesday morning with Holt County Emergency Manager Tom Bullock.  

The evacuation is strictly voluntary and no decisions on mandatory evacuations will be made until the storm system moving through the area Wednesday has passed through the area. 

The Holt County Sheriff's Office did report that some  people were moving trailers from the Big Lake area due to the potential for flooding. 

In Richardson County, one road closure has been reported.  707 road is closed from 655 Avenue to 656 Avenue.  Water from melting snow went over the road and caused quite a bit of damage to the roadway.

This area is approximately a mile north of the Preston corner and the first mile west.
