Residents of Northeastern Nova Scotia are cleaning up in the aftermath of post-tropical storm
Dorian.
A number of residents still find themselves without electricity, with close to 200-thousand homes and businesses still without electricity in the province.
All Nova Scotia public schools and NSCC Campuses are closed today. Some local businesses and social enterprises are also shut down for the day.
Several buildings have been provided this afternoon as warming centres for local residents including the Antigonish County Municipal Building, Chedabucto Lifestyle Complex in Guysborough, Indian Harbour Lake/Jordanville Community Centre, Port Bickerton Community Centre, and fire halls in Louisdale, Island Madame, Caribou Fire and the Little Harbour.
The outages are also affecting some water and sewer systems. Inverness County is asking residents to conserve water by not flushing toilets, taking showers and baths or washing clothes. Bottled water is recommended for human consumption such as drinking and brushing teeth.
