The City of Dauphin is under a local state of emergency as serious flooding continues to impact the Parkland region.

The city says heavy rainfall has led to flooding on roads and properties, while putting major pressure on local storm water, wastewater and water infrastructure.

Residents are being asked to avoid all non-essential travel, stay away from flooded roads, and reduce water use where possible.

The flooding has also impacted the Dauphin Regional Health Centre, with Prairie Mountain Health saying the emergency department is closed until further notice.
