Flood Preparedness Program to Help Saskatchewan Communities

Apr 4, 2013
Today, the government of Saskatchewan confirmed it will help Saskatchewan residents facing the threat of flooding through the 2013 Emergency Flood Damage Reduction Program. It will provide engineering and technical assistance to municipalities, while sharing the cost of flood prevention works - both permanent and temporary.

Level of coverage varies depending on the work, from 50 to 100 per cent. Projects must be approved by the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency to qualify for funding. You can call the nearest Water Security Agency office or 1-866-727-5420 to request assistance through the program.

More details on the program are available in the press release and on the Water Security Agency website.
