Changelog

Two links that residents tap had gone stale. The Naka Power outage page now opens directly at nakapower.com (it had pointed to the old Northland Utilities address), on both "Is the Power Out?" and "Who to Call." And on "Is Your Home Wildfire-Ready?" the FireSmart NWT free-assessment link now goes to the current Government of the NWT page. The outage line 867-873-4865 and the rest of each tool are unchanged.

Tick off what you've done to get a home ready for wildfire and see what matters most next — the roof, gutters and the first metre and a half do the most. Built on FireSmart Canada's guidance, with the City's alerts and a free FireSmart NWT assessment.

A live read of the wind chill for the next three days, and the hours when exposed skin is at risk, on Environment Canada's scale. It links the official forecast and, in a cold snap, the neighbour-reported power board.

A colored-pencil banner of the floating homes moored off Jolliffe Island, below the bare Shield rock of Old Town and its monument, with a float plane over the open lake.

A live wildfire board for the city: the active fires the national fire map lists near Yellowknife right now, each one's stage of control and size, with the official NWT Fire channels that matter in an evacuation. It reads the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre's national feed and shows the calm 'nothing burning near town' state honestly when the map is quiet. Pinned for fire season alongside the smoke and aurora tools.

Enter the dates from your notice and check a rent increase against the Northwest Territories rules: how often rent can rise (every 12 months), how much written notice you need (3 months), and the fact there is no cap on the amount. It points to the free Rental Office if something looks wrong.

The first tools for Yellowknife: an aurora forecast worked from NOAA's space-weather model, the darkness and the season; a wildfire-smoke and air-quality check; a neighbour-reported power-outage board; a daylight clock; and a who-to-call directory.
