Fifteen of the apartment tenants were able to make arrangements for temporary lodging while 11 others were assisted by Canadian Red Cross volunteers who have arranged for emergency lodging and food.

Some have also been set up in hotels in the Moncton area, or empty dormitory rooms at the Université de Moncton, where several displaced tenants are students.
