Sask. Public Safety Agency launches online info portal to help those affected by floods

After parts of Saskatchewan were left underwater by spring flooding, the provincial public safety agency has launched a new online system to help connect affected residents and municipalities with support services and important information.

The flooding led to at least 15 states of emergency around the province as the waters washed out roads and bridges, leaving some communities isolated, while evacuation orders were issued in some areas. A damaged bridge also forced Cameco to slow operations at its McArthur River mine and Key Lake mill in northern Saskatchewan.

The Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency said the new online portal includes details of emergency support and recovery information for both homeowners and municipal governments, along with information on government support for businesses and agricultural producers, environmental information, flood forecasts and technical guidance.

The new portal can be accessed through the provincial government’s website.

“When flooding impacts communities, people need clear information and timely support. The portal was created to ensure people affected by flooding can quickly find reliable information and access available services in one convenient location,” Michael Weger, Saskatchewan’s public safety minister, said in a statement.

“The Recovery Task Team will continue building on this work to ensure residents, businesses and agricultural producers receive the support they need to recover.”

The public safety agency said its recovery team, which was established after last summer’s wildfire season in order to assist affected communities like Denare Beach, aims to “provide a structured and unified approach for recovery after emergencies and disasters.”
