Provincial Disaster Assistance Program

The Provincial Disaster Assistance Program (PDAP) provides financial assistance to eligible claimants who have experienced substantial damage or loss due to a natural disaster event. The PDAP is administered by the Ministry of Corrections, Public Safety and Policing.  The program guidelines and regulations closely follow the federal Disaster Financial Assistance Arrangement (DFAA) program.

KEY GUIDELINES

  • The PDAP will only assist with losses that are un-insurable.  
  • The PDAP is a cost sharing program where the claimant is responsible for 5% of the total cost of the claim.sp;

WHAT TO DO:

After Regina is designated under a PDAP

Once the City of Regina has been designated under the PDAP you will need to apply.  From the date of the disaster you have 6 months to report your claim to PDAP.  Here are some recommended steps to take.

  • Get a copy of the application form (March 31-July 30 flooding/heavy rain), triage form, and the Guidelines for Private Claims or in person at City Hall or your local Fire Station.
    • Make sure you get the Guidelines for Private Claims as it contains a couple of additional forms you may need.
  • Contact your Insurance provider, if not done already, and get a letter from them denying you’re your claim and stating that there is no coverage for your type of loss.
  • If you need help filling in your application please contact PDAP at 787-7800.
  • Once you have completed the application form and all accompanying documents you can drop them off at City Hall with the front counter staff, OR mail them to: City of Regina P.O. Box 1790 2476 Victoria Ave Regina, SK, S4P 3C8 Attn: PDAP Claim

Rental Properties

If you are a tenant or a landlord you may be eligible for damages.  Follow the processes listed under ‘Before Regina is designated under a PDAP’ & ‘After Regina is designated under PDAP’.

As a Tenant you may claim for personal possessions that were damaged in the disaster.  Also, as a tenant if you take measures to reduce the impacts of the disaster (ex: pumping water or sandbagging) you may be able to claim any costs incurred.

As a Landlord you may claim for damages to the property and associated repair costs.  You will need to file a separate claim for each property you own, and if it is not your primary residence, you will have to claim as a small business.
