Eastern Ontario homeowners, small businesses and other organizations affected by the recent widespread flooding will be eligible for up to $250,000 in disaster relief assistance, the province announced Tuesday.

Eligible recipients can be reimbursed for repair and cleanup expenses as well as the costs of evacuating from their property. Those who qualify for the program include homeowners, residential tenants, small business owners, farm operators and not-for-profit organizations.
