GNWT Launches New Evacuee Registration Portal
The Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) is pleased to announce the launch of a new Evacuee Registration Portal. The launch of the portal is in response to feedback from community governments about the need to streamline the process of registering evacuees prior to, and during, evacuations, as well as feedback from evacuees about having to register more than once during an evacuation.
The new portal provides residents with the ability to pre-register before an evacuation, and to request assistance from their community government during an evacuation.
