Province To Study Flood-Proofing Measures For Perth-Andover

The province is looking into into flood-proofing measures for the village of Perth-Andover in the wake of a ice-jam flood that devastated over 200 properties on March 23rd.

A working group consisting of the province, federal agencies, NB Power, and the village will be looking at things such as the known and anticipated risks of ice-jam flooding in the area and what structures could be built to recent such a disaster from happening again.

According to Environment and Local Government Minister Bruce Fitch, the group will have a report ready by August 30th.

You're also being reminded that if you have yet to apply for Disaster Financial Assistance, the deadline is May 15th.
