Canada has announced changes to the Disaster Financial Assistance Arrangements (DFAA), a federal program that provides funding to provinces and territories for the costs of responding to, recovering from, and mitigating against natural disasters. The proposed amendments to Manitoba’s Disaster Financial Assistance (DFA) Program will align Manitoba’s program with the revised DFAA to provide greater support to Manitobans and local governments during and after a natural disaster, but without passing additional costs on to program participants.
