(Jonathan Villeneuve/Radio-Canada - image credit)Nova Scotians can now apply for financial assistance to help cover uninsured losses due to last weekend's severe flooding. The provincial government said Wednesday the Disaster Financial Assistance Program covers up to $200,000 in uninsurable losses per household, small business and not-for-profit organization. "This has been a very difficult situation for so many Nova Scotians, and this program is designed to help," said Emergency Management Office Minister John Lohr. "These floods have caused severe damage, and I want people to know we are working as quickly as possible to get them the support they need to begin their cleanup and repairs." The government notes the program does not replace private insurance and only uninsurable damage is eligible.
