Attention municipalities

The Water Security Agency (WSA) will be accepting Flood Damage Reduction Program (FDRP) proposals in four streams from communities both urban (cities, towns and villages) and in rural municipalities (hamlets) as follows:
​

• Hydrologic and/or hydraulic investigations to develop risk assessments;
• Flood mapping projects; 
• Mitigation planning, where municipalities develop emergency flood response plans or potential flood damage prevention construction designs; and
• Structural projects, where the municipality acts as the proponent for construction of permanent flood protection works.

The FDRP will cover eligible costs incurred up to March 31, 2023. A list of eligible costs can be found at (https://www.wsask.ca/water-programs/flood-damage-prevention/).

Once a municipality applies to the program, the proponent must have prior WSA approval and must secure any applicable regulatory requirements to undertake work. Eligible projects will be cost-shared on a 50/50 basis between WSA and the proponent.  Deadline for applications is September 15, 2022.
