Elders Emergency Contact List
The Elders Emergency Contact List is a critical tool for ensuring the safety and accountability of vulnerable community members during an evacuation. In large-scale emergencies—such as the evacuation of Yellowknife during recent wildfire threats—one of the key challenges was the lack of a complete and reliable list of elderly residents.
Without this information, responders face delays and uncertainty in confirming whether everyone has been safely evacuated.
Maintaining an up-to-date Elders Emergency Contact List allows emergency teams to quickly identify who may need additional assistance, prioritize wellness checks, and coordinate transportation or medical support. It helps ensure that no one is overlooked in a high-stress, time-sensitive situation, ultimately improving response efficiency and protecting those who are most at risk.
To protect privacy, this list is strictly confidential and secured with password protection, with access limited to authorized personnel only. If you would like to have an elderly individual included on the list, please complete the this form to ensure their information is captured accurately and can be used to support them in the event of an emergency.
