Natural Disasters and Severe Weather

 

  OCMOH Home

Bad weather can hit at any time – and without time for you to prepare. The time to get ready for a natural disaster or the storm of the decade is now. We’re hoping you’ll find the following information helpful.

Most hurricanes occur in August, September and October when the ocean’s waters are at their warmest. On average, three to four tropical storms or hurricanes pose a threat to Canada or its waters each year. To learn more about hurricanes, please visit the Environment Canada: Canadian Hurricane Centre.
