Today, a flood recovery centre staffed by officials from the Provincial Disaster Assistance Program (PDAP) will open in the Town of Elfros to provide support and advice to residents in the community and surrounding area that may have been affected by recent severe weather and flooding.
“Any resident whose property has been impacted by the recent flooding and severe weather in the area of Elfros should visit the recovery centre and speak to a PDAP official,” Government Relations Minister Jim Reiter said. “PDAP staff will be on-hand to guide residents through the claims process as well as answer any questions they might have about the program.”
PDAP is designed to help residents, small businesses, agricultural operations, communal organizations, non-profit organizations, parks and communities recover from the effects of natural disasters, including flooding, tornadoes, plow-winds and other severe weather.
