The Government of Yukon is releasing draft flood hazard maps for Old Crow and is inviting the public to provide feedback on the models. These maps are part of an ongoing effort to better understand and manage flood risks in Yukon communities and to help guide future planning and development.
The draft maps are now available for review. Residents and stakeholders in Old Crow are encouraged to participate in the public engagement process, which will be open for comments between February 3 and March 3, 2025. This process includes opportunities to review the draft maps online and attend in-person meetings with Government of Yukon officials to ask questions and provide feedback.
The draft flood hazard maps have been developed by the Government of Yukon in collaboration with local experts and community representatives, using the best available data and models to predict flood risks. The maps will assist with decision making related to land use, infrastructure development, emergency preparedness and climate adaptation strategies.
