EMO has activated its Joint Emergency Operations Centre and continues to monitor the storm.
Emergency management planning officers are reporting that various areas of mainland Nova Scotia are experiencing some localized flooding and that many of the rivers and streams are now full. There is concern that the waterways are reaching capacity.
Nova Scotians are encouraged to protect their property and prepare for flooding in their areas by moving furniture and personal property away from possible flood water and to secure property that might be swept away or damaged by a flood.
Residents are also encouraged to ensure they have access to drinking water in case their regular supply is unavailable or becomes contaminated.
