A resolution will be made at the Regular Meeting of Council on Monday June 15th to apply for designation under the Provincial Disaster Assistance Program. If the Town is approved the Office will have application forms on hand and will assist as best we can with submissions. PDAP can also be contacted directly. We will post notification on our Facebook, website and around Town once we hear back on the status of the application which will be submitted early next week.
The Provincial Disaster Assistance Program is designed to help cover the cost of uninsurable essential losses, cleanup, repairs and temporary relocation after a natural disaster. It does not replace your regular home insurance so ratepayers should go through their regular insurance first to see what is insured before turning to PDAP for any uninsurable losses. The PDAP program will require a denial letter from your insurance on company letterhead detailing what damages submitted will not be covered under your insurance.
Document, Document, Document as much as possible. Keep a detailed list of damages and losses, photos, invoices for equipment rented/purchased or contractors hired, a log of your own time spent doing clean up and hours logged on any equipment you may personally own used to assist in cleanup (sump usage, shop vacuuming, fans/dehumidifiers etc).
