Today, the provincial government accepted a comprehensive review of the response to the January 2017 ice storm with 51 recommendations.
Recommendations include increased funding for emergency services to cover costs relating to adding resources at the regional level.
The provincial government should be working with private and non-profit sectors to encourage the purchase and installation of carbon monoxide detectors.
The Department of Social Development should revisit the requirements for emergency preparedness for special care homes, including phasing in backup power generation.
Report author Judy Wagner, Clerk of the Executive Council, says everyone did the best they could with the resources and information available and this is about being better prepared next time.
