Batten down the hatches and put away that lawn furniture, Nova Scotia - there's a storm coming Monday.
The Emergency Management Office (EMO) is advising Nova Scotians to take steps now to protect themselves, their loved ones and their property in advance of Monday's predicted storm.
Environment Canada is forecasting heavy rain and strong winds starting Monday morning, particularly in parts of Cape Breton and the Halifax area. Some parts of northern Nova Scotia may see snow. These events may cause flooding, storm surges and power outages.
Storm preparation checklist:
EMO is working with Environment Canada and partners on the approaching storm, gathering municipal information, identifying possible local risk areas and keeping in close touch with provincial and municipal emergency management officers and co-ordinators.
