PDAP claims see little change between 2012 and 2013
Between 2012 and 2013, the number of claims filed to the Provincial Disaster Assistance Program (PDAP) in the Prince Albert area was mostly unchanged.
The PDAP program provides financial assistance to help residents, communities and small businesses recover from the effects of natural disasters.
According to Karen Lautsch, assistant deputy minister responsible for public safety with the ministry of government relations, there were 80 claims in 2012 compared to 77 claims in 2013.
“The City of Prince Albert itself has not designated for assistance under the program and hasn’t provided or received any claims for 2011, 2012 or 2013,” Lautsch said.
