The declaration allows the city to do flood mitigation work on private property boarding two creeks that have risen rapidly this week.
Emergency Program Coordinator, Warren Smith, says some of the flow of Meighan Creek will be redirected into an agricultural field.
Armstrong residents can get sandbag materials at the Public Works Yard and at the corner of Bridge and Pleasant Valley roads.
