Disaster assistance officials in Estevan today
Numerous basements flooded earlier this week amid torrential rain
Flood-affected residents of Estevan will be getting some help from provincial disaster assistance officials today.
The southeastern Saskatchewan city is no longer under a state of emergency, but that was the case Sunday night, after heavy rainfall flooded streets and basements.
The area got more than 13 centimetres of rain.
Now, residents of the town are in cleanup mode.
On Thursday, staff with the Provincial Disaster Assistance Program will be in the city to help people submit claims. They'll be bringing all the forms people will need for their applications.
PDAP program advisors will be available at the Estevan Leisure Centre board room from noon to 8 p.m. CST.
They'll also be available Friday (9 a.m. to 8 p.m.) and Saturday (9 a.m to 1 p.m.).
There will also be a building inspector from the province's building standards branch to help with onsite inspections. The inspector will be available Thursday from noon to 8 p.m.
