Canada updates disaster relief program for quicker aid, focusing on prevention and resilience.
Canada's federal government has updated its disaster relief program to prioritize prevention and resilience.
The changes include faster financial assistance, with up to 90% reimbursement for rebuilding efforts in high-risk areas that reduce future disaster risks.
The program now offers more immediate support and divides funding into five categories, including emergency response and recovery assistance.
Territories receive full coverage for high-risk areas and 60% for non-high-risk areas.
The updates aim to expedite aid, previously taking up to seven years, and are set to take effect on April 1.
