In the meantime, critical supplies and people who require essential services are being transported by air in the hardest-hit areas.
"We've been transporting people to and from with aircraft, people with major medical appointments," he said. "People in need of work appointments, and any supplies that are necessary, critical or in short supply in the isolated areas of province."
Twenty-five Canadian Armed Forces personnel are stationed in the Town of Stephenville, which is on the province's west coast, along with a pair of helicopters, Furey says.
The storm had cut off some key areas in the region, including the province's main ferry terminal in Port aux Basques.
