Disaster Financial Assistance (DFA) - Community Engagement Schedule

Disaster Financial Assistance (DFA) - Community Engagement Schedule

June 2026 Heavy Rain Event:

A Disaster Financial Assistance (DFA) program is now available to support Manitobans affected by heavy rains and overland flooding in June 2026. DFA helps individuals, farms, and businesses recover by providing financial assistance for uninsurable losses. Residents are encouraged to contact their insurance provider first.

Manitoba Emergency Management Organization (EMO) recognizes that overland flood insurance is not always available or included in standard coverage. As a result, this program will assess gaps, with additional targeted support available for vulnerable populations of those that do not have the financial means to recover on their own.
