    TD 187-19(2) TABLED ON OCTOBER 19, 2020 October 16, 2020 MS. LESA SEMMLER MLA, INUVIK TWIN LAKES OQ 274-19(2) Support for Residents Impacted by Flooding This letter is in follow up to the Oral Question you raised on June 2, 2020, regarding support for residents impacted by flooding in the Beaufort Delta. I committed to providing an update on the resources available for residents of the Northwest Territories (NWT) in dealing with floods. In the NWT, flood risk is considered to be one of the most destructive natural hazards, second to wildfires. There are nine communities considered flood risk areas; including Hay River, Fort Simpson, Fort Liard, Nahanni Butte, Tulita, Fort Good Hope, Fort McPherson, Aklavik, and Tuktoyaktuk. As part of its mandate, Municipal and Community Affairs (MACA), through the Emergency Management Organization (EMO), works with communities to mitigate, prepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies including flooding events. Starting in April each year, the EMO monitors seasonal breakup and high-water conditions across the territory and advises communities of high-risk conditions. MACA Regional staff work with flood risk communities to ensure community awareness and the updating of emergency plans to support community preparedness activities. When flood situations occur, the local emergency plan is enacted, and the EMO activates the community’s NWT Emergency Plan, at the level required to provide the support and resources required. Should the event cause wide spread damage to a community, the Government of the Northwest Territories’ (GNWT) Disaster Assistance Policy may apply to assist the recovery of residents, businesses and the community.

  • Mackenzie Highway Extension, for Structuring EIA Related Field Investigations and for Comparative Assessment of Alternate Routes
    D. Mackenzie Valley Highway Extension D.1 Consultations An initial Stakeholder Workshop was held in Norman Wells on June 8, 1998. The workshop was attended by approximately 60 stakeholders and generated considerable discussion on the need-for, and benefits-of, an all-weather road. A meeting with the Sahtu Secretariat and the Sahtu Regional Land Corporation Presidents was held on November 12, 1998. The group reviewed the Terms of Reference for Environmental Scoping and Benefit Cost Studies. The Terms of Reference were also sent to other stakeholders invited to participate on the Advisory Committee. In December the Department established an Advisory Committee for this project consisting of 25 individuals representing a wide variety of interest groups and organizations. The Department has kept this committee informed of the status of projects, and held a meeting on March 17, 1999 in Norman Wells. A list of the committee members is provided below.
