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

The Provincial Government has designated a Hurricane Fiona impact zone in collaboration with the Town of Channel-Port aux Basques. The delineation of the impact zone is based on objective, evidence-based considerations including the debris line of the storm surge, aerial photography and on-site verification.

All property owners within the impact zone have been notified and provided with information outlining the process and estimated timelines. The financial framework consists of:

• A replacement value for the home at a minimum of $200 per square foot and based on a detailed assessment;
• The value for land of $30,500 or provision of a suitable land option.

This is a continuation of the ongoing Hurricane Fiona recovery effort. The Provincial Government is collaborating with the Federal Government, South West Coast communities and community partners on other outstanding matters.

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