The Government of Yukon is announcing the 2024–25 Disaster Financial Assistance program aimed at helping Yukoners recover financially from a natural disaster.
The program – a commitment in the Yukon’s Our Clean Future strategy – contains three funding streams for households, small businesses and farms. The support will be used for repairing disaster-damaged primary residences and providing financial support for businesses and agricultural landowners with disaster-related property damage or loss.
Funding conditions align with the federal Disaster Financial Assistance Arrangements program, which supports provinces and territories with recovery costs from large disaster events.
The Disaster Financial Assistance program will help Yukoners quickly and effectively receive needed financial supports should they need financial help to recover from a natural disaster.
As the climate changes and our population grows, our emergency preparations need to include how we help those impacted by a disaster. The Disaster Financial Assistance Program offers reassurance to Yukoners by ensuring swift aid during times of need, and by defining expectations regarding available supports.
