Jackie Barkhouse has asked me to pass this on to our 105.9 SEASIDE-FM listeners....I thought it should be posted here too.....Here's Jackie's message......"over the next fews days, shoring things up as much as possible in anticipation of 'Earl' this weekend. I have taken a proactive, as opposed to reactive, approach to this situation and am hoping we may be able to avoid or at least limit ...some of the potential damage from storm surge etc. HRM... staff plan to remain within the area during the storm, and be at the ready.
Shore Road, Cow Bay Causeway and The Dyke, remain my biggest areas of concern with respect to storm surge. Cow Bay Road and Shore Road for flooding. That said, we are concentrating in those hotspots, but recognize and expect that other areas may be affected."
If you require Jackie's assistance, e-mail (barkhoj@halifax.ca). you may call her, but her phone may be quite busy....
