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.
