The memo from Director Barrett would seem to be talking about all NH waterways, not just Winni. Secondly, most written communication, including laws, insurance contracts, etc. use words like "shall" or "must" to denote a mandatory action, leaving words like "urge" to be suggestive in nature, and while it would seem to be a prudent or wise thing to do, would not be mandatory.
That's the good news:
Bad news: NWS has issued a flood watch for Friday, with low pressure developing along the mid Atlantic coast and overspreading this region on Friday. Rain can be locally heavy, with 1-2 inches possible, along with some hail before tapering off sometime Fri night. Expect saturated ground to allow runoff and streams and rivers to rise rapidly.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings
