#Canada -
> Officials in #Yellowknife, as well as staff with the #NorthwestTerritories, are getting ready for the start of a mass migration home of #wildfire evacuees that’s still on track for Wednesday.
... workers in grocery stores, pharmacies, home-heating providers, and even some taxi drivers and daycare providers are on their way back to the city in advance of Sept. 6 — the date announced last week for the lifting of the evacuation order

Do we build something around the Gofundme platform or work with Red Cross, UnitedWay NWT etc. Ghose charities focus on service delivery, much needed but not providing direct financial support. Ideally it would be great to tap into some matching fund support from Canadian federal government. Support will be needed even if and when they can return.

To say it's been an exceptional year for wildfires in Canada is an understatement.
Here are two data visualizations with the latest info on the total area burned and the active fires.

YOU MAY NOT DRINK THE WATER.
If your water supply was impacted by fire,
or your infrastructure inundated by smoke,
YOUR WATER MAY BE MORE POISONOUS THAN THE AIR.
👉 Learned From Fires in California
I have seen no warnings in Canada.

Repeating the warning, if your has been impacted by the smoke, it and the water, may be poisonous.
