The City of North Battleford's state of emergency designated was lifted at 3 p.m. Thursday, exactly one week after Mayor Ian Hamilton declared the Local State of Emergency due to flooding.

The July 22nd flood affected 250 homes sporadically located between 100th Street and Territorial Drive.

Recovery efforts are ongoing. If they haven't already done so, residents who experienced flooding are encouraged to apply for Provincial Disaster Assistance. Any questions must be directed to PDAP toll free at 1-866-632-4033. Application forms are also available for pickup at City Hall.

Residents continuing with the cleanup process are advised by city officals to work with PDAP and insurance adjusters and to take photos and make lists of discarded items. Health information related to clean up is available from the Prairie North Regional Health Authority and online at www.pnrha.ca.

Two large dumpsters are set up for flood damaged materials only at 107th Street and 10th Avenue and at 104th Street and 18th Avenue. Back lane dumpsters are not to be used for flood damaged items. The Waste Management Facility is open during regular weekly hours but also Sunday, Aug. 8 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Residents must inform City staff at the landfill if they are dropping off flood damaged material and keep the receipt for possible refunds.
