What it does
The Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Fund (DMAF) is a national merit-based program designed to support investments that will mitigate current and future climate-related risks and disasters triggered by natural hazards, such as floods, wildfires, droughts, and seismic events. Ultimately, the DMAF aims to reduce the socio-economic impacts of disasters triggered by natural hazards on Canadians by focusing investments on vulnerable communities at high risk of infrastructure failure that result in threats to: health and safety; interruptions in essential services; significant disruptions in economic activity; and the increasingly high cost for recovery and replacement to frequent and intense climate events and disasters triggered by natural hazards.
