It appears a state of emergency has been declared in Fort Good Hope.

The Mackenzie River has breached its banks in the tiny Sahtu community and a warning siren has sounded, according to a resident reached via Facebook messenger.

Water flowed across a road and is slowly rising, resident Edna Tobac said in a Facebook post on May 25.

鈥淲oke up to the siren ringing at 5 a.m. I guess Fort Good Hope is in a state of emergency,鈥� Tobac wrote in a message to 黑料吃瓜网. 鈥淭he ice is still flowing steady.鈥�

Photos and videos in Tobac鈥檚 post showed water rising around houses.

Water levels had reached 13.2 meters Tuesday morning according to Environment Canada鈥檚 most recent hydrometric update.

The flooding comes just over a week after high water and ice levels on the Mackenzie River wreaked havoc on communities in the Dehcho region.
