1.4 Emergency Management
1.4.4 Emergency Recovery

Description

The DFAA provides federal financial assistance to provinces and territories (P/Ts) affected by large natural disasters such as floods and storms. The DFAA program was established in 1970, to provide the Government with consistent and equitable mechanisms to cost share P/Ts response and recovery expenditures when such costs place a significant burden on the affected P/T economy, and exceed an amount that these jurisdictions might reasonably be expected to bear on their own.

Following a natural disaster, an affected province or territory may make a request for federal financial assistance to the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Canada. If an Order in Council declaring the event to be of concern to the federal government and authorizing the Minister to provide financial assistance to the jurisdiction is approved, the Minister will inform the affected province or territory that federal financial assistance will be provided in accordance with the program's established guidelines. These guidelines include an established cost-sharing formula. This is not a program with repayable contributions.

Expected results

The DFAA assists provinces with the costs of dealing with a disaster where those costs would otherwise place a significant burden on the provincial economy and would exceed what they might reasonably be expected to fully bear on their own.

1.3 Countering Crime
1.3.1 Crime Prevention

Description

The National Crime Prevention Strategy (NCPS) is a key component of the federal government's approach to reducing crime. The Strategy's goal is to reduce offending among those most at risk, such as children, youth and Indigenous Canadians who demonstrate various risk factors, and to prevent crimes such as drug-related offences, and serious and violent offences from being committed. The Strategy provides national leadership in the development and dissemination of evidence-based crime prevention programs and policies, and supports projects that are responsive and appropriate to community and regional needs. The NCPS provides funding through time-limited grants and contributions to community-based organizations, other levels of government and academia to support the implementation and evaluation of targeted interventions and other measures, as well as the development and dissemination of knowledge and practical tools. The program aims to increase coordination and integration of effective crime prevention policy and programs federally and with the provinces and territories, as well as increase the identification of, and response to, emerging priority issues and orientation of funding programs.

Expected results

Reduced offending among targeted populations (youth at risk, Indigenous communities and high-risk, repeat offenders).
Increase in the Canadian body of knowledge related to crime prevention.

1.4 Emergency Management
1.4.1 Emergency Prevention/Mitigation

Description

In recognition of increasing disaster risks and costs, Budget 2014 provided contribution funding of $183.8M million over five years to establish the National Disaster Mitigation Program (NDMP) as part of the Government's commitment to build safer and more resilient communities. The NDMP will address rising flood risks and costs, and build the foundation for informed mitigation investments that could reduce, or even negate, the effects of flood events.

The NDMP fills a critical gap in Canada's ability to effectively mitigate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from, flood-related events by building a body of knowledge on flood risks in Canada, and investing in foundational flood mitigation activities. Knowledge that is up-to-date and accessible will not only help governments, communities and individuals to understand flood risks and employ effective mitigation strategies to reduce the impacts of flooding, but will also further discussions on developing a residential flood insurance market in Canada.

Expected results

Increased number of communities that:

  1. Are flood risk quantified;
  2. Have relevant flood mapping;
  3. Have risk-based mitigation plans; and
  4. Have risk-based flood mitigation measures in place.

Complete details on the NDMP's expected results are in the NDMP Terms and Conditions, section 22
