Starting April 1, 2025, Canada’s revamped Disaster Financial Assistance Arrangements (DFAA) program will provide cost-shared funding to provinces and territories impacted by eligible disasters. With five new funding streams—from immediate response to disaster mitigation—and a resilience incentive of up to 40%, the updated program emphasizes faster recovery and “build back better” strategies. While individuals can’t apply directly, the program supports provincial and territorial relief efforts for homes, businesses, and infrastructure. Learn how the DFAA helps strengthen disaster readiness across Canada.
