I'm a communications director, former newspaper managing editor who calls New Brunswick home. I travel. I write. I read good books. I bike. I hike. I snowboard.
NBEMO is tracking hurricane Lee.
There are three important components to emergency preparedness:
• Know the risks: New Brunswickers should evaluate the kind of emergency that can affect their family and their community. Knowing the risks can help them better prepare for any disaster: storms, flooding, train derailments, power outages or other events.
• Make a plan: Every household needs an emergency plan. It will help families to know what to do in case of an emergency and it takes less than 30 minutes to organize. Family members should take the time to discuss how and where to meet, how to contact each another and what to do in different situations. Write it down and keep it in a safe place.
• Get an emergency kit: New Brunswickers should have all the necessities for themselves and their families: water, food, flashlights, radio, batteries, first aid kit, prescription medications, infant formula, cash (ATM machines might not be operational in times of crisis).
Lee is no Fionna but Lee is no joke. Lee will become post tropical as it makes landfall in the Maritimes SAT. Heavy rain, gusty winds & higher than normal waves. Lee will enter the Gulf of St. Lawrence SUN. That give some areas 14-18 hours worth of heavy rain and high winds.
Happy to welcome colleagues to Carleton-York specifically @NackawicCorp for this important announcement.

@NB_Power Can #NB Power explain why we lose the power every week? Storm or no storm. Always 700 customers around Prince William, Lake George, Dumfries, etc. Frustrating!
@TheDailyWarhead Curbside pickup has been halted as well. I was offered a $20 coupon on a future order (after my weekly order was suddenly cancelled Wednesday) but you can’t book a time slot.
Honestly. Civilians are dying in Ukraine. Children are starving in Yemen. And the people protesting in downtown #Ottawa still have the guts to demand “freedom”? In a country with health care, public education, social services and a democratically elected government?
The @CityFredPolice and @CityFredGov were able to reopen Queen St between the Cenotaph and St. John Street to vehicle traffic overnight.
Police had implemented road closures over the weekend, and all roads have been re-opened.
I repost this #Osprey family picture from the North Riverfront Trail #Fredericton which shows the Orange Eyes of the Juveniles & the Yellow Eyes of the Adults. Looking forward to their return in the Spring when the river is open & they can get the fish - 99% of their diets.
