Quebec unveils 24-point plan to improve disaster relief, preparedness

In the wake of 2017’s historic flooding, the Quebec government said it will pour more money into disaster preparedness, and make it easier for future victims to get compensation.
That was the gist of a new 24-point plan to improve the response to disasters unveiled Thursday.
Other measures included improving disaster plans in cities, simplifying information for victims on the province’s website, and revisiting urban plans to ensure there is no new development within floodplains.
