The province is coming to the aid of flood-impacted residents in the North Okanagan. Gord Molendyk from the North Okanagan Emergency Operations Centre says the property owners will be able to apply for compensation for non-insurable items damaged by the high levels of the Shuswap River or other creeks in June and July. "What then will happen is there will be an accessor or evaluator that will go to the property to review the damage.As we said earlier, if you are gong to start to do repairs, photographs and documentation (of the work) would be very helpful." Molendyk says residents, businesses, farms, and charitable organizations will be eligible to apply for up to 350-thousand dollars in relief from BC's Disaster Financial Assistance program. Most of the flooding was in the Enderby, Lumby and Ashton Creek areas. The province approved an application from the North Okanagan Regional District for the relief funding. People may submit an application in more than one category (ie. Home and business) Please review the DFA Guidelines at http://www.pep.bc.ca/dfa_claims/dfa.html and complete the application. You may contact the DFA office at PEP.Funding@gov.bc.ca or by phoning toll free at 1.888.257.4777.
