The military gets deployed because almost nobody in a village of several thousand thought to take any winterization measures to protect their homes during a power loss.

I asked this before to but why did their infrastructure not have backup generators.
Also maybe instead of making it difficult as possible for people in Canada to have back up sources of heat we encourage it

If you’re faced with days of no power and want to keep your pipes from blowing, close the shut off valve on the water service to your house and open all your faucets, drain the hot water tank, flush the can to empty it, etc.
All should be cool when the juice comes back on.

Need a 🇨🇦 version of US Army Corps of Engineers (a mostly civilian organization! Please , no angry sappers). Fly techs in like on an oil rig. Expensive, but constitutionally necessary and strategically useful.

Real world experience is better than training, perhaps they will gain valuable insight in a real emergency scenario that can better prepare them for the future deployments.
I remember the 1998 ice storm and the military helicopter landed in my small town and dropped food off. Not sure if it’s because we were close to a base or what.
I was only 6 but I remember the chinook landing it was super cool. Then we went to the legion to eat.
