Rural communities getting assistance after severe weather events
The Provincial Disaster Assistance Program (PDAP) is helping dozens of Saskatchewan communities recover from severe weather events this year.
The acting executive director of the Disaster Assistance plan, Noel McAvena said the program is designed to cover uninsured losses from severe weather events for farmers and rural communities.
“To be eligible, local authorities need to apply for assistance and be approved and then once the community has been designated for PDAP, individuals can make applications to the program,” McAvena said.
An adjuster would be assigned to assess the damage.
