Weather deteriorates in Canada as powerful Hurricane Fiona approaches

Widespread, potentially prolonged power outages, numerous downed trees, structural damage, washed-out roads and significant coastal erosion due to battering waves and storm surge are all potential impacts of Fiona in Atlantic Canada, regardless if it has become a post-tropical cyclone or if it is still a hurricane.

What should you bring to a hurricane shelter?

The Atlantic Hurricane season runs from June 1 through Nov. 30. It is important for residents to know if they live in an evacuation zone, a low-lying, flood-prone area, a mobile home, or an unsafe structure during hurricane season. You may be required to evacuate to a shelter.
