Disaster Financial Assistance
What is Disaster Financial Assistance?
Disaster Financial Assistance provides financial support to assist individuals, small businesses and community governments in recovering from a disaster and restoring damaged property to its pre-disaster condition.
Disaster Financial Assistance may be available when:
- An event is an emergency:
- Damage was so widespread that a significant number of people or properties are affected;
- The health, safety, and welfare of the affected residents are at risk;
- Emergency operations are conducted;
- A community, small businesses and community residents make serious efforts to protect property and minimize risk; and
- The Government of the Northwest Territories applies the Disaster Assistance Policy.
To determine if you are eligible for Disaster Financial Assistance or if you require additional information, please contact MACA’s Superintendent in your Region.
