The Alberta government has released an app that will give Fort McMurray residents a bird’s eye view of their properties in the wake of a destructive wildfire that forced the evacuation of over 90,000 people.

Municipal Affairs Minister Danielle Larivee said the satellite images are intended to provide a high-level overview of the status of the city and cautioned that structures that appear to be standing should not be considered undamaged.

“Having been through a devastating fire and evacuation myself [five years ago in Slave Lake], I know firsthand how stressful it is to wait for updates on which homes have been lost,” she said in a statement.

Larivee warned that viewing the images may be traumatic and reminded people that Alberta’s Mental Health Help Line is open 24 hours a day at 1-877-303-2642.

Anyone wanting to view the images must first click on a link acknowledging that they have read and understand the terms of use agreement on the government website.

According to the minister, higher-resolution images will be released “in the days ahead” that should provide “a sufficient level of detail” to assist property owners with insurance claims and other recovery actions.

A preliminary re-entry plan is expected to be released in about 10 days.
