Disaster Financial Assistance for Small Businesses
$200,000.00
Grant
Description:
Nova Scotia’s Disaster Financial Assistance programs are designed to help municipalities,
small businesses, not-for-profit groups and Nova Scotians get back on their feet after a
major storm or natural disaster.
This program helps those whose losses aren’t covered by insurance. This can include
structural damage to homes and damage to uninsurable items such as basic household
goods and appliances, including washers, dryers and furnaces. Not all disasters are
covered by private insurance. Floods and earthquakes, for example, can result in losses
an insurance company wouldn’t offer coverage for
