The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador continues to support residents impacted by Hurricane Fiona.

Work has progressed on the assessment of the damage to properties as a result of Hurricane Fiona. Based on applications received under the Disaster Financial Assistance Arrangements program, insurance adjusters and contractors are actively inspecting properties. These assessments involve a detailed review of the homeowner’s property and other relevant information.

Beginning next week, government officials will provide some property owners with detailed information relating to their financial compensation package based on the work completed by insurance adjusters and contractors.

The process will continue in the new year with packages being issued to property owners as they are received and processed through the Emergency Services Division. Property owners will be contacted directly when their financial compensation package is available for review.

Work will continue through the holiday season and the Hurricane Fiona response line and email will be active during regular office hours.

Individuals with inquiries may contact the Fiona Response Line at 709-695-9871 or email FionaResponse@gov.nl.ca for assistance.
