Payments for Evacuees

Evacuees forced from their homes due to ongoing wildfires can apply for emergency financial assistance if they have been evacuated for a total of seven days or more.

Eligible applicants will receive funding of $1250 per adult and $500 per dependent child. Funds sent via e-transfer can take up to 24 hours to flow into accounts.

Evacuees can apply for the payment at alberta.ca/Emergency using a verified Alberta.ca account, which allows Albertans to prove who they are without paper documents or face-to-face visits.

Albertans who cannot apply online or can’t receive e-transfers can contact 310-4455 for assistance.
