The Government of the Northwest Territories is launching an After Action Review (AAR) to hear the perspectives of those who were involved with or affected by the 2022 flood in Hay River and on the Kátł’odeeche First Nation (KFN) Reserve to prepare for future emergencies.
The AAR is divided into two phases. The first phase took place in early 2023 and focused on preparedness and response to the 2022 flood. This second phase of the AAR focuses on recovery activities. Once Phase 2 is complete, a report will be released publicly outlining the results of Phase 1 and 2 of the 2022 flood AAR.
Have Your Say
We want to hear from you about your experiences in recovering from the 2022 flood.
An online survey is available targeting:
Town of Hay River residents, businesses and officials who were involved in 2022 flood recovery and/or applied for disaster assistance
KFN residents and businesses who required initial emergency repairs to mitigate further damage and/or initial damage assessments
Territorial and community government representatives will be contacted directly to collect their feedback.
No personal information will be collected and survey results will be used only for the purposes of completing and analyzing feedback.
Take the survey now.The survey is open from February 12 through March 15, 2024 at 4:00pm.
If you need assistance with completing the online survey, please reach out to one of our Pathfinders. Pathfinders are available in person at the MACA office in the Hay River Courthouse or can be reached by phone or email at:
After a large-scale emergency it is standard practice to complete an AAR to see what went well, what lessons were learned, and how to improve next time. Areas for feedback:
Long-Term Displacement Supports: Assessing the suitability and effectiveness of the displacement supports that were implemented for individuals whose homes were destroyed.
Damage Assessments: Assessing the overall damage assessment process, reporting, and emergency work to prevent additional damage.
Pathfinders: Reviewing the role of pathfinders and evaluating the effectiveness of this role through the recovery process.
Disaster Assistance Policy Claim Process: Assessing the Disaster Assistance Policy claims process and identify any common successes or challenges that were experienced.
Next Steps
Based on feedback collected, other analysis, and a scan of practices in other provinces and territories, the GNWT will:
Release an After-Action Report detailing:
What went well
Lessons learned
Recommendations for improvements to emergency management in the territory.

Emergency recovery is typically defined as the process “to repair or restore conditions to an acceptable level through measures taken after a disaster.” The recovery phase of a disaster typically begins during the response and can last for years. It can affect all facets of a community and may include assessing damages, emergency work, long-term displacement of those whose homes were impacted, and rebuilding or repairing buildings and infrastructure. There is a strong relationship between long-term sustainable recovery and prevention and mitigation of future disasters. Recovery efforts should be conducted with a view towards disaster risk reduction.
In the Northwest Territories, the Emergency Management Organization (EMO) in the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs has historically helped with recovery after disasters like the 2022 flood by contracting for emergency work to dry out structures and complete damage assessment reports. The EMO administers the Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) Disaster Assistance Policy (DAP) when applied to an event.
This 2022 Flood Survey – Phase 2 is seeking input specifically on recovery efforts related to the 2022 flood in the Town Hay River and for the initial stages of recovery activities undertaken on the Kátł’odeeche First Nation (KFN) Reserve prior to those activities being directly completed by KFN and Indigenous Services Canada.
