After Popular Attention Washes Away: Check-in Post-Fiona
Hurricane Fiona stands as Atlantic Canada's most costly extreme weather event and ranks as the seventh largest in Canada's history in terms of insured damages. The federal and provincial governments allocated a combined $340 million in relief funding in the days and weeks following the storm. However, the effectiveness of these relief efforts in reaching those in need, particularly individuals with disabilities, and the broader community's progress in recovery and rebuilding remain critical topics for examination in this panel discussion.
