Claudia Chender, leader of Nova Scotia's NDP, said she is concerned about the lack of details shared on Thursday about the province's emergency preparedness.

"In case of emergency, even if there are alerts, those alerts aren't going to come through if you don't have cell service," she said. "And that is increasingly a safety issue for many people in rural Nova Scotia."“
