"Based on our current assessment of the situation, this is not an emergency," the release says. "The city is currently working closely with the Government of Yukon Emergency Measures Organization (EMO) and the Yukon Energy Corporation to monitor the Yukon River and any potential impacts to Whitehorse." A high streamflow advisory for the Yukon River at Whitehorse was issued on Monday, citing "historically high levels" and "dangerous currents" through Miles Canyon. Due to rising water levels on the Yukon River, the City has fully activated its Emergency Operations Centre (EOC), located at 305 Range Rd in the Public Safety Building. They are: Bennett Lake, Tagish Lake, Marsh Lake and Lake Laberge.
