'All hands on deck': Federal government vows to send aid as Fiona hits Atlantic Canada
As post-tropical storm Fiona walloped Atlantic Canada after making landfall early Saturday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that the federal government will deploy the Canadian Armed Forces to assist in recovery after a request from Nova Scotia.
Emergency Preparedness Minister Bill Blair says the federal government is localizing federal resources to help provinces in the aftermath of the storm and that preparations for the storm began several days ago “in close collaboration” with provinces. The federal government is also prepared to arrange strategic airlift assets for evacuation, armed forces to help with debris removal and hydro repair and services, Blair added.
