As soon as it is safe to do so, Nova Scotia Power will reconnect power to these communities. It is expected that this will take place later today. The expected timeline is approximately two to three hours once homeowners have returned. However, dependent on the level of damage to individual homes, isolated power outages may remain once power has returned to the area. Property owners should contact Nova Scotia Power for further assistance.
To accelerate the re-entry process, no identification is required for homeowners to return to their communities where evacuation orders have been lifted.
The remaining areas of significant impact or areas that have not yet reopened continue to have check-points, as well as a presence from a combination of municipal staff and security as roving patrols.
The municipality will be lifting evacuation orders for a combination of individual properties and streets moving forward when it is safe to do so. As such, the provincial emergency alert system will no longer be used.
Future openings will be communicated via a public service announcement, social media posts, updates to halifax.ca/fire as well as outreach from municipal staff to individuals whose properties are located in the areas where the evacuation orders are being lifted.
Resources for residents returning to properties
Residents returning to properties after an evacuation order are encouraged to review provincial information on health and safety considerations, including guidance on the use of personal protective equipment.
