The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday edition that Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland called for urgent action from Canada's telco regulator, after politicians in Nova Scotia raised concerns that poor cellular service had prevented residents from receiving emergency alerts in an area of the province where four people were swept away by catastrophic flooding last weekend. The Globe's Lindsay Jones and Molly Hayes quotes Ms. Freeland saying, "It's really not acceptable for people not to be able to get emergency alerts." Ms. Freeland spoke to reporters at an emergency command centre in Brooklyn, N.S. She wants the CRTC to address the issue. She also noted the increasing rate and severity of natural disasters across the country. As Ms. Freeland toured the site, new details emerged about the identities of the other three victims, whose bodies have been located since the flash flood. They are six-year-olds Natalie Hazel Harnish and Colton Sisco, and 52-year-old musician Nick Holland. The two children were part of a group that fled their home in Brooklyn in the early morning hours on Saturday. They were overcome by a storm surge, which pushed their vehicle off a road and was flooded with about 10 feet of water.
