2025 Wildfire Update

We are closely monitoring the fire activity in the NWT and our crews are ready to respond. 

Communities are the lead on response and recovery activities and are supported by the GNWT as needed. 

Territorial and Regional Emergency Management Organizations are activated and providing resources for planning, coordination, and emergency management and recovery operations. 

 

Electrical emergencies and outages can happen for many reasons. You should be aware and prepared for these situations.

  • We encourage everyone to be self-sufficient for 72 hours to feel ready for a power outage. 
  • Keep an emergency kit handy in your home, business and car.
  • Do not approach downed power lines and stay at least 10 metres back.
  • Report any electrical emergency so we can help quickly and safely.
