- 1972 - 2001
This series consists of the administration of financial claims for damage from flood made by victims to the Provincial Emergency Program (PEP) through the Disaster Financial Assistance Program. Those impacted by flood may apply to the province for Disaster Financial Assistance (DFA) where the losses could not be insured or where other programs are not available. Disaster financial assistance helps to replace or restore essential items and property that have been destroyed or damaged to pre-disaster condition. Assistance is available to qualifying home-owners, residential tenants, small businesses, farm operators, and not-for-profit charitable organizations. These records were created and received between 1972 and 2001 by PEP. The records cover the details of each claim, the determination of eligibility, as well as records relating to appeals and disbursements. This series documents disaster relief from flood damage in British Columbia under the Emergency Program Act (RSBC 1996, c.111).
The series is arranged mainly by claimant name (individual or business). It includes correspondence, claims forms, copies of cheque requisitions, photographs of damage to properties, journal vouchers and other financial records, and maps/plans. The records are classified under secondary 68855-20 of the Emergency Management Services ORCS (schedule 120776).
