The final flood hazard maps for the Southern Lakes area and Carmacks will be released on the Government of Yukon’s Flood Atlas and available to the public by spring 2024.
A summary of all the feedback we received is available in a What We Heard report.
The Government of Yukon is developing flood hazard maps for all Yukon communities that are at risk of flooding.
We asked for your feedback to confirm the accuracy of the maps and to help us improve the way we present information on the maps.
We develop flood hazard maps through detailed surveying and modelling to show how different flood scenarios could impact surrounding areas.
The Southern Lakes flood hazard maps cover about 150 kilometres of shoreline including the communities of Carcross, Tagish, Marsh Lake and Lake Laberge.
You can view flood hazard maps on the Government of Yukon’s Flood Atlas.
The feedback we received helped us confirm the survey and modelling results and informed the refinements we made to how we present information on the maps. With the help of your feedback, we’ve:
- validated, or confirmed, the extent of flood areas;
- added more information about the data sources and their limitations; and
- added a second climate change scenario.
