State of Emergency declared by Town of Carrot River
The Town of Carrot River has declared a State of Emergency following Sunday night’s storm.
The weather system brought severe wind, rain, and hail. The storm caused trees to fall on power lines, leading to a lengthy power outage. Roofs were blown off buildings and bins were toppled in farmyards.
The town made the declaration on Tuesday, also activating an Emergency Operations Centre, with both active through July 1.
“By declaring a state of emergency our community will have access to the Provincial Disaster Assistance Program, more information and support will come on this for those who experienced damage to property,” the town said on its Facebook page. “Be sure to document damage and log hours of work, including equipment.”
