For those who will soon be released from the evacuation, they will need to contact a contractor to inspect electrical and gas connections and then contact the proper utility for reconnection before they will be allowed to move back in on a permanent basis. Chatham-Kent’s Manager of Health and Family Services April Rietdyk said that the municipality will work with tenants who live in the newly released areas to help them get back into their homes. Case managers can be reached at 519-351-8573 during business hours. As for risk going forward, Fire Chief Chris Case was very straightforward.
“The risk is being managed and the system in place are managing that risk,” he said. “While we carry on working through this, please be vigilant. The safety of the community is still our primary responsibility.” Case indicated that the cooperation from the community has been immense and the support for the fire crews has been great. According to officials, the plan is to have Talbot open for traffic in the next few weeks, with Erie Street South also expected to open at some point. Erie Street North, along with Elm and Foster will remain restricted for the immediate future.
