Officials with Kings County's branch of the department of Tranportation and Infrastructure Renewal (TIR) are ready for the arrival of Hurricane Earl, set to bear down on the province in the next 24 hours.
TIR area manager Fred Whynot, based out of New Minas, reports equipment, including barricades and chain saws have been “prepped and geared-up” in anticipation of the storm’s Saturday morning arrival.
Staff, now on stand-by to respond in case of emergency, will be monitoring road conditions during and after the storm through regular road patrols.
