Disaster Recovery Program Deadline Extended

Posted on Tuesday December 08, 2020 at 09:02AM

The deadline to apply for Disaster Recovery Program funding from the Alberta Government has been extended to January 31, 2021. 

If you live in Lamont County, and your home, business or property was damaged by flooding that occurred from June 3 to June 8, 2020, you may be eligible to receive Disaster Recovery Program funding from the Government of Alberta.

The Disaster Recovery Program provides funding for uninsurable property damage, loss and other expenses incurred as the result of a natural disaster. Please note, hail, sewer backup and insurance deductibles do not qualify under the program as insurance coverage is considered readily and reasonably available.

Application forms and guidelines can be downloaded from Lamont County's Disaster Recovery Webpage, or packages can be picked up at Lamont County Administration and Public Works offices.

Residents are encouraged to visit www.alberta.ca/DRP for the most up-to-date program applications and guidelines, and to submit applications. Paper applications can be submitted to:

Alberta Emergency Management Agency
5th Floor, Terrace Building
9515 107 Street NW Edmonton, Alberta T5K 2C1
