Prince Edward Island, Ottawa spending $1.4M on emergency preparedness measures
Jason Thistle, PEI Director of Emergency Management; Nick Jagoe, PEI Public Safety Officer; and Bloyce Thompson, PEI Deputy Premier and Minister of Justice and Public Safety announced funding for emergency preparedness. (Source: Government of PEI) The Government of Prince Edward Island is putting funding towards enhancing 'emergency preparedness infrastructure' across the Island. The province, along with the Government of Canada's Hurricane Fiona Recovery Fund and P.E.I.'s Emergency Measures Organization (EMO), is spending about $1.4 million on supplies and infrastructure to benefit preparedness and response efforts across P.E.I. 'We are very pleased to work with local communities across our Island to source new supplies and enhance our infrastructure in the event on another major emergency,' said Deputy Premier and Minister of Justice and Public Safety Bloyce Thompson. 'As we continue to learn from the increased amount of weather events in our region and across Canada, it is critically important that we build on our preparedness to make sure we are ready to whatever comes our way.' The funding will support the creation of nine designed emergency sites, which are equipped with large capacity generators. Designated emergency sites are 'a provincial asset that can be activated in the event of an emergency,' a release from the province reads. More than 50 shelter kit pallet boxes are also being distributed to municipal and community reception centres in the event of an emergency. The shelter kit pallet box includes: 25 cots 25 polar fleece blankets inflatable cot pillows comprehensive first aid kits an emergency weather alert radio personal hygiene kits P.E.I. EMO has been working with municipalities, communities and reception centres across the Island to deliver the shelter kits. Islanders are also encouraged to be prepared in the event of a hurricane or other emergencies by having a household emergency plan, a preparedness kit and keeping up with the latest emergency updates.

Team investigates reports of possible tornadoes near Winnipeg
Researchers are on the ground north and east of Winnipeg on Thursday scanning fields and forests for signs of damage after funnel cloud reports by storm chasers Wednesday. Members of the Northern Tornado Project headed to the Oakbank and Birds Hill areas on Thursday to investigate possible tornadoes that triggered warnings from Environment and Climate Change Canada on Wednesday night. "These turned out to be super cell thunderstorms ... that can generate the strongest tornadoes, so you have to take them seriously," said Dave Sills, director of the Northern Tornado Project. The project is headquartered at Western University in Ontario with collaborators in Manitoba and elsewhere. It works in collaboration with Environment Canada to investigate reports of tornado touchdowns across Canada. Meteorologist Scott Kehler, chief scientist with Weatherlogics, is confident there was at least one official touchdown. He headed out Wednesday night for a drive after seeing rotational patterns via radar that hinted at the possibility of a tornado. "These storms do develop very quickly, so you have to keep a close eye on what's going on," he said. "Quite a few chasers in the area were reporting that there were funnel clouds or areas of rotation seen with the storm." Kehler said he saw two funnel clouds himself, including one that dissipated as it moved east of Highway 206 on the east side of Birds Hill Provincial Park. He saw another between Dugald and Oakbank. "To my south I saw a funnel cloud, which was kind of between the Oakbank and Dugald, moving through some fields, so that one, I think ... will be confirmed as a tornado by the Northern Tornado Project," said Kehler. "As it passed through those fields, there were some signs of damage on the ground." Damaged land is one of the factors tornado researchers use to gauge whether or not a funnel cloud did touch down and become a tornado. If so, the extent of damage influences the rating the tornado gets under the Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF Scale), a measure that reflects the size and intensity of a tornado. Another telltale sign of tornado possibility is hail, said Kehler — something that had been corroborated as of Wednesday night by numerous accounts in southern Manitoba. Robyn Dyck, a meteorologist at Environment and Climate Change Canada, said Steinbach received quarter- to loonie-sized hail. Stonewall had quarter-sized hail; St. Andrews was hit with loonie-sized hail; and Gunton reported hail from dime to golf-ball size, said Dyck. "There were some really good photos, and by really good I mean that they looked like they were very close to the ground and on radar it looked very much like it could have been a tornado, but there will be more investigation," Dyck said early Thursday morning. "We had no confirmation of any tornado as of yet." Tornado activity in Canada typically peaks in mid- to late-July, said Sills. He said prior to Wednesday, Manitoba has had three confirmed tornadoes so far in 2025. That includes an E0 — the weakest rating on the EF Scale — which touched down Tuesday in Grande-Clairière, southwest of Brandon, and didn't cause any damage, Sills said.
