More help is on the way for Nova Scotians impacted by Hurricane Fiona.

The province has announced the Canadian Red Cross will receive $1.4 million.

The money will cover hotel costs for Nova Scotians who were forced out of their homes by the storm.

The United Way of Pictou County will get $200,000 to help with emergency housing repairs.

The province has announced more than $40 million in assistance to help Nova Scotians and organizations cope with the recovery costs.
