Rama First Nation declares state of emergency – Barrie 360

In light of the ongoing severe ice storm affecting our region, Rama First Nation is declaring a State of Emergency under the authority of Chief and Council. This decision has been made following consultations with the Rama First Nation Emergency Control Group, after considering the escalating impacts of the storm, which has caused significant damage to infrastructure, power outages, hazardous road conditions, flooded basements, and downed trees and power lines.
