Post-tropical storm Fiona was all of these — and more.
“We were seeing all this information on how to prepare beforehand, what to do during and how to recover from emergency weather events,” the mayor said. “It all amounted to an information-sharing and communication priority.” “So we took an all-hands-on-deck approach: We had our emergency operations centre open, and hundreds of people behind the scenes ready to co-ordinate the storm effort. We've been talking with EMO; they had been open, they had military personnel ready, they had Department of Natural Resources and Renewables people ready.
“Fiona was a shock; it definitely took us by surprise,” Lohr told the Cape Breton Post. “The severity of the damage I think we didn’t anticipate. But from our office, alerts were put out prior to Fiona, we got some messaging out about hurricane prep and there were a fair number of alerts put out.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also toured Glace Bay in the days following the storm, one of the harder-hit areas of the CBRM.
“I spoke with Federal Emergency Preparedness Minister Bill Blair a number of times for these requests,” he said. “But we knew that military resources were getting stretched thin, too.” From left.
