The City of Yellowknife (the City) has published additional emergency preparedness and wildfire information on its website. The purpose of this content is to provide residents with the information and resources they need to prepare themselves, their families and their properties for any wildfire season and to centralize all related City updates and directives.
In addition to the new wildfire content, the City is currently updating its Community Emergency Plan (formerly known as the Emergency Management Plan) and developing an all-hazards Evacuation Plan. These plans will draw from the findings from the After Action Assessment of the City’s 2023 wildfire response currently being conducted by KMPG. Once finalized, the updated Community Emergency Plan and Evacuation Plan will both be posted to the City’s website. The Final Report from the After Action Assessment is anticipated to be released to the public in July 2024.
