RDKB staff are working with the Province on use of the old Forward Attack Base on Hwy 3. It looks like an application for non-farm use will have to be made to the ALC before building can start. This could take several months.
Following a disaster, the provincial government may declare the event eligible for Disaster Financial Assistance (DFA). Once declared, the DFA program may compensate individuals for essential uninsurable losses. For General Information on APPLYING FOR FINANCIAL HELP AFTER A DISASTER, click here
