Pre-registration for flights home for evacuees from Hay River, KFN, and Fort Smith begins today.
According to the GNWT, pre-registration is the first step in developing passenger lists for re-entry flights.
“This means you are one step closer to going home or getting started on a path to recovery,” Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs Shane Thompson says.
After the GNWT establishes a base number of evacuees who require flights home, appropriate aircraft will be booked and flights will be scheduled to depart from Alberta once a date is set for the evacuation order to be downgraded to an alert.
The GNWT says once an evacuee’s flight information is available, it will be confirmed by phone.
Additionally, evacuees will also receive information regarding transportation from designated locations to their assigned airport.
