This is the P.E.I. government's first-ever disaster assistance program
The Canadian Red Cross is now registering Islanders for the province's disaster financial assistance program.
Islanders can apply by calling the Canadian Red Cross at 1-800-863-6582.
Through the program, P.E.I. residents will be able to access emergency funding from government to aid in recovery costs.
It is the province's first-ever disaster assistance program. It aims to help Islanders, small businesses and non-profit organizations with the costs of repairing or replacing uninsurable basic property loss.
