Executive Summary:
Background:
The National Disaster Mitigation Program (NDMP) is a federal program intended to reduce the impact of natural disasters on Canadians. These funds will be used to reduce significant recurring flood risks and costs and to advance further discussions on residential flood insurance. This NDMP program should not be confused with the Disaster Mitigation Adaptation Fund (DMAF) program for which the City has sought funding under various phases and been awarded funding under Phase 1.
As part of this program the Federal Government funds up to 50% of eligible project costs (to a maximum of $1.5M) in four streams: Risk Assessments, Flood Mapping, Mitigation Planning and Investments in Non-Structural and Small Scale Structural Mitigation Projects. The Municipality will fund the remaining 50% of eligible costs as well as any ineligible costs. Grant funding is also only provided upon completion of the project.
