Global News published this video item, entitled “Storm Fiona: Federal ministers provide update as Atlantic Canada assesses damage | LIVE” – below is their description.
Canadian Minister of Emergency Preparedness Bill Blair and Minister of National Defence Anita Anand, alongside Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs Dominic LeBlanc and other ministers, are expected to provide an update on Sunday regarding the federal government’s efforts and support for Atlantic provinces affected by post-tropical storm Fiona.
Fiona hammered the maritimes from Friday night into Saturday, causing widespread power outages, washing out roads and downing trees.
As of 1 p.m. local time, more than 252,000 Nova Scotia Power customers were without power — and for some, it could be days before the lights are back on. Power crews from neighbouring provinces and Maine have arrived to help.
The province’s request for federal financial aid and military support have both been approved, and help is currently on the ground or on the way.
