No Real Flood of Applications for Financial Flood Assistance

By 250 News

September eleventh was the deadline for those who suffered most from the  flooding  in the spring of 2007 to file an application with the Province for financial assistance.

So far,  there have been 245  applications filed for Disaster Financial Assistance.  Among the applications filed,  are four from private citizens in Prince George,  53 from private citizens in Vanderhoof,  and one is from the District of Vanderhoof. 

It will be some time before all of the dollar amounts are known for  spending  on  programs to  prepare  or respond, or recover from the high waters of  2007.  Those amounts may not be known  for at least two months.
