The Canadian Red Cross began co-ordinating services from Amik Aviation and other local airlines to evacuate the communities starting Tuesday night. The province says that Little Grand Rapids didn't notify them before declaring an evacuation was needed. "Once a decision to evacuate has been made, First Nations communities co-ordinate with the Canadian Red Cross." The military re-tasked a CH-147F Chinook helicopter to help evacuate people from Little Grand Rapids to Red Lake, Ont. As of 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, more than 385 had been evacuated from Little Grand Rapids, he wrote in an email.
