Eligible wildfire evacuees can now apply for financial support through the Wildfire Incidental Support Program. To qualify, evacuees must be permanent Manitoba residents, have a primary residence in a community or First Nation with a mandatory evacuation and be registered with the Canadian Red Cross.
The financial benefit for Manitobans evacuated under a mandatory order will be $34 per day for each person aged 13 and older ($238 per week) and $27 per day for each child aged 12 and under ($189 per week). This funding is a way to help support evacuees while a mandatory evacuation order remains in place for their community or First Nation.
