Emergency ongoing in Far North

The First Nation communities of Attawapiskat and Kashechewan are still in a state of emergency.
Some frail and elderly have been flown out of Attawapiskat First Nation, while a partial evacuation got underway on Wednesday in Kashechewan First Nation.
About 200 people were flown from Kashechewan to Kapuskasing, as the temperature was expected to drop below zero Wednesday.
Kashechewan Chief Derek Stephen said the decision was made to airlift all 200 people affected by the flooding to an emergency shelter.
Residents began boarding flights on Wednesday morning.
Kapuskasing Mayor Al Spacek said the town is doing its best to accommodate the evacuees.

Of course it's going to be a yearly thing! Last year, although there was much yelling and finger pointing, did anything actually get done??? Because I don't seem to remember hearing about that, just about how much money it was going to cost and who was going to pay for it. How difficult it was logistically to get supplies up there, and the cost for that.

As far as I'm concerned, this is now like the roof that has been patched for the last 15 years....it's well beyond the time that a new roof was installed whatever the cost may be. Because if you just keep throwing up a patch here and there, eventually it ends up costing more than a new roof entirely!

It's going to happen for longer periods every year while north-flowing water moves slower over a rising Hudson Bay Lowland
