Description

The Indigenous Disaster Relief and Recovery Grant Program supports the recovery and revitalization of indigenous peoples and communities throughout our region impacted by disaster. Tragically, wildfires have become more and more dangerous, happen more frequently and have been incredibly destructive in recent years. The rapid spread of COVID-19 has added yet another hurdle. Indigenous communities in our region are suffering from multiple disasters along with additional complexities that other communities simply do not share. A lack of access to resources has made it difficult for indigenous communities to recover from disasters as quickly as other communities.
