Community Impact Assessment


September 19, 2024

St. Pierre Jolys - Following the significant rainfall accumulations and storm conditions experienced in our community this week, the Village of St. Pierre Jolys is investigating whether this extreme rainfall event will qualify for the Province of Manitoba’s Disaster Financial Assistance (DFA) program.

Property owners and residents who experienced uninsurable storm related damages are asked to follow the advice provided on the Province’s website: www.gov.mb.ca/emo/dfa/residence.html and complete an application form to request disaster financial assistance funding.  Manitoba will use this information to determine if a financial assistance program will be declared for St. Pierre Jolys as well as fill out the form at the bottom of this page.

If you have experienced damage to your property as a result of recent heavy rainfalls:

  • Take pictures of the damages and any repairs you make
  • Keep detailed records of any repairs (invoices for labour, materials, contracted work, etc.)
  • Contact your insurance provider to verify whether the damages are eligible for insurance. If a DFA program is established, you will need to have your insurance provider complete an Insurance Declaration Form (found on the Province’s website)
  • Fill out an application for Disaster Financial Assistance at https://forms.gov.mb.ca/dfa-application/ OR Contact Manitoba EMO at 1-888-267-8298 or emo@gov.mb.ca to request a paper or electronic copy of a DFA application

Through the evening and night of Monday, September 16th and the morning of Tuesday, September 17th, 2024, the Village experienced a significant rainfall event. According to media reports, a total of about 6.6 inches of rain fell over St. Pierre Jolys during this period.

Due to the saturated ground conditions, and the amount of rain that fell during this time, the Village experienced significant overland storm water flows in all neighborhoods. Open drainage channels, creeks, and ditches throughout the Village were either at capacity or over capacity and spilling over their banks. The Village's gravity sewer system and facilities were fully functional and were operating at capacity during and until well after the storm event. As of late Tuesday evening, the Village's sewer system returned to normal operating levels.
