Financial Help For Hurricane Dorian Damage

Wednesday is the final day to register damage and apply for disaster financial assistance related to hurricane Dorian.

The New Brunswick Emergency Measures Organization says it has received 194 damage registrations and 128 applications for financial help to date.

The September storm brought wind gusts over 95 kilometres per hour, leaving more than 80,000 NB Power customers without electricity.

Communities in eastern New Brunswick received the brunt of the damage, though dozens of trees were toppled in Saint John.

The maximum assistance ranges from $160,000 for private residences to $500,000 for small businesses and not-for-profit organizations.
