Areal Flood Warning

Statement as of 11:38 AM AKDT on May 20, 2013

Expires 8:00 PM EDT on May 21, 2013


... The Flood Warning remains in effect until 400 PM akdt Tuesday for
the Yukon river at Fort Yukon...

As of 1120 am this morning... Village Council official has reported
low lying areas of The Fort Yukon is flooding. Ice on the Yukon
river is moving past the community. Earlier today there was a report
of extensive flooding behind the breakup front up river from Fort
Yukon. The surge of water is moving past Fort Yukon and will
continue through the afternoon.

Flooding is occurring on the frontage Road downstream of The Tank
farm and the frontage Road is impassable. Water is also overbank
along The Slough on the east side of the community. Water is
currently up to the steps of the tribal Hall. Flooding is expected
to continue within low lying areas in Fort Yukon.

The ice downstream of Fort Yukon appears to be stronger and it is
possible that an ice jam may form. If an ice jam forms downstream of
Fort Yukon the water could rise even higher and flood other areas of
the community.

A Flood Warning means that flooding is imminent or occurring. Water
levels are expected to rise rapidly today. Fort Yukon residents in
areas prone to flooding must take precautions now to protect life
and property.

Areal Flood Watch

Statement as of 4:39 PM AKDT on May 19, 2013

Expires 8:00 PM EDT on May 22, 2013


... Flood Watch now in effect through Wednesday afternoon for
the Yukon river from Beaver to Rampart...

The Flood Watch is now in effect for

* the Yukon river from Beaver to Rampart

* through Wednesday afternoon

* the breakup front on the upper Yukon river was located between
Circle and Fort Yukon Sunday afternoon. The surge of water and ice
associated with this breakup front caused major flooding in
Circle Sunday. It is expected to reach Fort Yukon some time
between Sunday evening and Monday morning before continuing
downriver to Beaver... Stevens Village... and Rampart.

* The river watch team has determined that the ice from Fort Yukon
to Stevens Village appears to be deteriorating... arched and
lifting. The surge of water and ice associated with the breakup
front is expected to continue to travel downriver steadily and
become more spread out reducing the amount the river will rise.
However any resistance to the oncoming breakup front could allow
the water to again collect behind an ice jam and increase the
flood risk to downstream communities.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecasts.

Residents living downstream of Fort Yukon should monitor conditions
and take precautions early to protect life and property. Water levels
can rise very quickly when an ice jam occurs downstream of a
community.
