Disaster Recovery Program Applications Deadline December 23!

Apply for disaster recovery funding if your home or business suffered uninsurable damage from flooding occurring June 3 to June 8, 2020. Deadline to Apply is December 23, 2020.

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.

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