In April 2014, the municipality had to open a reception center for people affected by the power outage during the ice storm. More than 250 residents came to the reception center located in the Grand-Barachois Hall to warm up, eat, get water or even to charge their cell phones, among others. Firefighters of the Haute-Aboujagane and Cap-Pelé Fire Departments, RCMP members, representatives of the New Brunswick Emergency Measures Organization and Red Cross, and NB Power crews worked tirelessly to ensure the safety of people, and in very difficult conditions.
