According to Catastrophe Indices and Quantification Inc. (CatIQ), Canada has seen insured losses exceeding $3 billion for weather-related events in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, just as things seem serene, the potential destruction of winter is set to start. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hurricanes (76%) personal\/family safety (75%) and winter storms (68%) are what concern Atlantic Canadians the most in terms of disasters and weather-related events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
