The provincial government has activated a program that will help cover uninsured costs for people and businesses affected by the massive Ottawa River flood.
The order to implement the program, called Disaster Recovery Assistance for Ontarians, for the ongoing flood was signed off on by Municipal Affairs Minister Bill Mauro on Friday, and the City of Ottawa and other affected municipalities have been notified, sources told the Citizen.
It means homeowners, tenants, small businesses, farmers, and not-for-profit organizations who have had flood damage or emergency expenses not covered by insurance can make a claim to the provincial government to get financial assistance.
Even people who had previously declined overland flood insurance may still be eligible for funding, depending on the government’s assessment of the claim.
The funding is only available for a primary residence, not for secondary residences or cottages. It also does not cover sewer backups, though there’s an exception for low-income households.
The province has created a map showing the areas along the Ottawa River where people are automatically eligible to be covered by the program. However, people who live outside the indicated areas can still make a claim if they can show they were affected by overland Ottawa River flooding.

The program guidelines and the application form for making a claim will be online at ontario.ca/DisasterAssistance.
The province had already activated this program for the County of Renfrew, including the City of Pembroke, on May 5 after widespread flooding had affected residents in the area starting in late April. That program is still operational throughout the current flood.
