Public Notice
Hay River Flood Update
Thursday May 12 2pm
Wednesday evening an evacuation order for the entire community of Hay River was issued as a large push came through town resulting in significant flooding throughout the community. This included the downtown core, Riverview Drive, Cranberry Crescent, Vale Island, and many other riverfront properties. Hay River Fire Department crews were dispatched to provide a high number of rescue operations.
Yellowknife and Fort Smith are serving as host communities for the town wide evacuation. Those travelling to Yellowknife should report to the Yellowknife Multiplex at 41 Kam Lake Road. Access to camping facilities is also being made available to evacuees at Louise Falls Campground, Escarpment Creek Campground, and at the Kakisa Campground.
A significant ice jam is still within the northern portion of the community boundaries. Ice is broken and packed from both the West and East Channels to Delancey Estates. Water levels are again rising at this time and causing more flooding. Remaining pushes are anticipated to cause more flooding through the community. As such emergency crews are continuing to focus on response activities and the evacuation order remains in place. Entry into the community is restricted to emergency and essential services.
The town will fully shift from response to recovery activities once the breakup risk has reduced and hazards tied to the flooding have been mitigated. A preliminary hazard assessment is being undertaken to fully inventory risks that will need to be corrected before an eventual return of evacuees to the community. The Town’s wastewater system has been heavily compromised with over 50% of residents without functional piped sewer services. Several road systems have been washed out or under water or have hazardous ice on them. Some areas of town are without power including the area of the Water Treatment Plant. The airport is only available for emergency access.
Given compromised wastewater and water treatment services, residents that did not evacuate are asked to conserve water. A boil water advisory has been issued for Hay River. See www.hss.gov.nt.ca/en/services... for more details.
An agent for the GNWT is expected to arrive in Hay River on Friday. They will assist in the recovery process for residents and businesses. More information will follow.
The Town will communicate with evacuees as soon as more information is known. This is a difficult time for our community. Please remember that people today are tired, worried and under a lot of stress. Be kind to one another. Take actions that are productive to getting through this together.

Thinking of everyone touched by the flooding. Hope that most homes withstand everything.

Know that you are a strong community and will get through it like the champions you are!
Sending love and support for those that need it. Thanks for the tour of town maybe not the best circumstances but none the less hope everyone stays safe. 2022 is just as crazy as 2021
Mikey, Im sorry to hear about the the flooding. I survived hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, so I know what it is like having to deal with this crap. Keep us updated buddy and hope everything works itself out.
Wow. That’s crazy . Hope everyone is ok and safe.
Thanks for posting this information, so the rest of the country knows what going on in Hay River.

Sad to see Mikey, best wishes to your family and all those affected in Hay River, we are in crazy times!!
Mikey-you, your family, and your neighbors are in my thoughts and prayers. I understand what y’all are going through, floods are common here in Houston, Texas. Things may be a mess now, but I know from personal experience that y’all will rebuild and Hay River will be back better than ever. The important thing is that everyone is safe!
I am praying for your family and all of the folks in Hay River. If anyone can get through this, it is my neighbors to the north. You are some of the toughest people I have ever seen and I know that your resilience will bring you out of this stronger and with greater purpose than ever before.
Our thoughts are with you, your family and the people of Hay River. Keep safe. Dave (Australia)
Hope everyone stays safe mikey and we know you will all be there for them.
Thanks for the update. Must be frustrating to see all this devastation, but not able to land and check on people. Hopefully you can use the runway soon.
Thanks for this Mike - this video makes it clear that the flooding is significant. Prayers will include the folks from Hay River for sure.
I hope all stay safe at this difficult time, I can't begin to imagine how people are feeling. My thoughts go out to you all. Stay safe Joe, Mikey and anyone else over there. Sending thoughts from England
I am so sorry to see that. I hope that you, your family and all the people in the region can recover from this.

I am so sad to see this devastation Mikey, I send my thoughts, prayers and well wishes to everyone concerned, I hope they are all okay and in a place of safety.

Thoughts and prayers to the people in Hay River. I lived in Rainbow Lake for a few years in the early 2000's - and everyone who lives in the Canadian North has my deepest respect. Mother Nature is an unforgiving mistress, and it takes a special breed of person to contend with her on a daily basis as those up there do. Stay warm and stay safe!
Thanks for the update, was wondering about your family and others in Hay River when I heard of the flooding. Let's hope things turn around quickly. 🤞
Thanks for putting this video up Mikey. Sorry to see this happen to the community.
I follow Andrew Stanley of the "wild north". His family are from Hay. He has been reporting on the flooding . Good luck to all suffering from this flood from Devon.
I am so sorry to see and hear that. I wish everybody is safe and remain resilient . All the best from France
It looks like that ice jam could not have picked a worse place to happen to cause the devastation of Hay River. I hope everyone stays safe.
I hope everyone is safe. That is a very scary situation! Thank you for sharing - they have been talking about this on the news in southern Ontario but it is helpful to see the pictures to understand the magnitude of this situation.
So sorry to hear this. We are thinking of you. Graham & Stephanie, Essex, UK.
Thank you for this video bro I can understand how you guys must feel being your home town and all. Once again thanks for letting your subscribers know. Safe travels
Wow thanks for update and views ! My family at mile 5 now seems to be stopped now , hope it moves along and be ok.
Thanks for posting Mike. Very timely and informative.
Oh wow. My heart goes out to you and to those effected by the flood. You are all in our prayers.
I'm sorry to see this Mikey. I hope everybody is safe. Take care and I look forward to things looking better the next time you fly over.
Mikey, hope everyone is safe - love from the UK
Saw the news in Scotland this morning - our hearts go out to your family and all of the residents of Hay River.
KDDC runway is 14/32. That's where I took my flying lessons! Brought back memories!
Thanks!
Hey Mikey, sorry to hear what's going on in Hay River. I hope your family and the community are all safe.
I heard something about Hay river being flooded but didn't know how bad. i thought it was just here in Manitoba with the three Colorado lows in the past month. But you guys are getting hammered.
.. Cheers to you and your Dad for showing this ..
So sad to see. Lived in Hay River for 10 years from 1980 to1990. Awesome place! Best hospitality of any place I ever lived. Hoping it all ends soon. Stay safe all.
Oh Mikey - that's awful. Thoughts to all the poor folks affected. :(
Hello Mickey, i am glad to know that all of you are well, i always see you on Pluto TV Ice Pilots. A lot of strength to keep going, a hug
That is shocking. Stuff can be replaced. The most important thing is people are safe. Thoughts are with you from Tauranga NZ
I wish everyone affected a fast and quick recovery, i hope everyone got out safe and i can't imagine loosing everything after living there for many many years. Thank You First Responders
Oh my goodness. So sorry for you all in Hay River. Stay safe everyone.
Thanks Mikey👍👍
Mikey. Great news your family are safe from the flood and hopefully everybody in Hay River is safe. Houses can be replaced but people are not.
Thank you
All my love and all my hopes to you, your family and everyone in the area. Stay safe
Mickey, I hope and your loved ones will be OK. Best wishes and hope you will all recover soon from this.
Keep strong! Chris
Prayers coming your way from Alabama, USA. Weather is strange this days
Very sorry to hear this Mikey, hope you Joe and your Mom will be OK. I’ve been following you ever since your first TV program aired…..love you guys. Family is everything, property, etc can be replaced. Hope all will be well for you.
Mikey, you and the guys at Buffalo supply them with their needs, and in their hour of need you are there also. You have my admiration.
I hope it all works out well for everyone.
So sorry to see this Mikey. It’s truly heart breaking.
Thought I would renew with your pledge. I thought you fell off the face of the planet for a time there. Good to see you back on and congrats on the 73.
So sorry to hear about this, I had no idea it would be this serious. Hoping the best for you all from Fort Smith.
It felt a little weird hitting "like" for this video. My heart goes out to everybody on this. Thank you Mikey for getting the footage out so we can see the struggle NWT folks are facing.
I'm very sorry to here about this. The family home is always close to the heart. Sending love to your home town and to the Mcbryan family from upstate N.Y. ✈✈✈✈✈💔
That sucks man. We had it down here in the lower mainland awhile back. Brutal stuff.
Wow that's scary. I'm wishing you and your family and everyone there the best.
Thanks for updating and sharing, hope the government will reach out to everyone. Looking like a remote location they should send out the army and more medical personnel and supplies. Mt thoughts are with you, friends and family. And people in that town.
YES oml I’m from hay river and it’s bad. My friends house collapsed and lots of flood damage
This is bad, we have a river around my home village to, we got some warm weather and water got a little to high. What you need now is some cold weather. Hope it goes well for you all and you can rebuilt everything again.
Hope all is ok and safe at all.
Very sorry to see that, hope everybody is safe and as well as can bi
Mikey, when I heard about Hay River flooding I immediately thought about you and your family.
Hi Mikey,
My goodness and keep us updated please.
I hope there are no fatalities from this.
What i am wondering is how has this occured so late as you would expect this in April or even slightly earlier surely.
I have a cousin living in Whitehorse and he mentioned it had been a very hard winter.
Stay safe and best wishes from 🇬🇧-🇨🇦
Sure has been a frustrating couple of years and now with a kind of a weird warm-up it is accelerated your ice flow and screwed your Hay River right up! Hope all is Safe and working things out, even though there is a real threat still I'm sure! Praying and would love to support if we can! All the best from Surrey BC
Oh man, that sucks, Hang in there we are all rooting for you
Best of luck to everyone affected. I was just reading a story about someone who bought a house off the North Carolina coast nine months ago, and it just washed away into the ocean. Another story I read a week ago about the water level in Lake Powell being so low that the Hoover dam may not be able to generate electricity soon. It’s within about 50 feet of being at too low level for the hydroelectric plant to operate.
I think we should all start listening to the scientists more. This climate change is going to affect all people on this planet, sooner then we think!
I hope the water in the Hay River Recedes very soon and people have minimal damage and can get back to normal soon!
Jezus Mikey! Sorry to hear. This is tragic to see! Glad your Mom got out, that's most important! I wish there was a way to break up that ice!
Good job sending the footage to First Responders. I hope your family and other residents are sorted soon.
stay safe guys 👍👍👍 from Victoria Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thinking of you all!
Wow... I remember back in 73 ish when they were trying to use the ice out on the NTCL docks to keep the water back
Hope you're family is safe and well, it looks so terrible down there.
Flooding is a serious matter that we deal with here in the PNW. Like Hay River, we can get cut off from access too. Sending my best to those who need it! Thanks Mikey
Wow thats insane 😲
Best wishes
Hi Mikey, is there a place where it is possible to do a donation to help directly people in Hay River?
Very sorry to hear of the flooding and loss your family is experiencing. Are ice jams causing the flooding?
That’s awful. My thoughts go out to all involved and you and your family Mikey. How has the airport faired? And the dc4s?
Up until a few years ago we lived along a major river and ice jams would flood much of the valley, depending where the ice jam was. I remember as a kid when the "ice went out" as the adults called it, you could hear it. They use to dynamite some pars of the jam up, a very dangerous thing to do, sometimes it worked.
Stay safe from the UK!
Wow that’s awful…hope it clears soon and everyone is ok
Mikey: I lost contact with your channel over a year ago after I came back from the States and by luck here you are. I hope you'll still post at least once a week. BTW What ever happened to the DR-1 project and the young French fellow who was working on it?
Both Mikey and Joe are in my thoughts here in Toronto. Although I’ve never met either one, I faithfully watched their TV series so I feel like I know them. As soon as I heard Hay River the news I thought oh that’s not good and immediately wondered about Buffalo. Stay strong guys.
That's crazy. I hope everyone is alright.
It's a sad state if affairs. Hope the people of Hay River and Old Town know the rest of Canada cares. 👍😎🇨🇦💜🌏🌊
puh, how sad. Hope everyone is safe.
Wow, stay safe
Luv&Peace to all whom have been affected from this terrible flooding & flood, our hearts n prayers go out to all!🙏
A great job Mikey, the donation of the next 6 months of UA-cam rev is so very cool! A Hello to the family Bro..🤝🏼✌🏼
I hope everyone is ok
Many thoughts
Thats crazy.
Hope you are all ok mate🤞
Wow devastating,hoping for quick cleanup.
Bummer
Ice jams or just excessive winter accumulation? All the best to you all in Hay River and surrounding areas. Stay safe guys.
I'm out of the loop here in Southern Ontario. Why is there a flood? Lots of snow melt with rains????
I'm hoping that everyone is safe and ok.
I couldn't tell at first where I was looking at ice jam, rocks or clear water, but either way I've never seen anything like that. Good look to your family and community.
Stay safe guys, I’m sorry to here this. Are your DC-4 destroyed, and any other planes down there
