City hopes for disaster funding

The City of Steinbach is asking residents to complete flood damage reports following tlast week’s torrential rain storm.

To qualify for disaster relief funding, the provincial government requires the city to provide estimates for both the total damage cost and number of impacted properties, a Steinbach press release said Friday.

Those reports will determine whether or not the province will give funding to impacted people. Completing the form won’t guarantee funding, but is necessary for the city to push for provincial help.

Citizens have until Sept. 29 to file a report.

People with flood damage can submit the report at www.steinbach.ca/report-september-2025-rainfall or call Steinbach City Hall at 204-326-9877.
