Chief Stan Bird says the Fisher River has come up slightly since yesterday and warm weather today may add to water levels.

The community has been sandbagging since last week, and Bird says it remains to be seen whether all of the 200 or more homes that might need protection will get barriers.

There are no current plans to evacuate more people, but leaders in Peguis are preparing for the possibility.

Tents and teepees have been set up inside the community's arena complex, and Naylor says that will give families with children some space and privacy that might not be available elsewhere.
