A severe winter storm occurred on December 21, 2013, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada (Rajaram et al., 2016). The storm produced freezing rain, ice pellets and wind which lead to widespread power outages because of power lines being down from trees that had fallen (Rajaram et al., 2016). The freezing rain lasted for 3 days, accumulating up to 30 mm coats of ice covering the ground and infrastructures (Armenakis & Nirupama, 2014). This storm caused over 300,000 Toronto Hydro customers to not have power; In addition, there was significant damage to public and private property (Rajaram et al., 2016). As a result, thousands of Torontonians were displaced from their homes or stayed in their homes in uncomfortable circumstances (Rajaram et al., 2016). Emergency reception warming centers were opened by the city and the police for people to seek shelter until their power was restored (Armenakis & Nirupama, 2014). Sadly, approximately 1,000 people spent their Christmas Eve in the warming centers (Armenakis & Nirupama, 2014).
