Information For Evacuees

The Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA)'s evacuation support services may be provided once a local emergency is declared and a request for evacuation is made. When the SPSA Emergency Crisis Support (ECS) is engaged, they will ensure individuals have access to urgent necessities. 

Working with local leaders, emergency response teams and support organizations, the SPSA ensures you have the resources and information you need. The information on this page is intended for residents currently under an evacuation order or individuals looking for details on active evacuations.

1. Funding and Support

Community members from the 2025 Wildfire Season who registered before the September 17, 2025, deadline, your cheques have been processed and mailed. Please allow time for your cheque to arrive. 

Either your community or the SPSA provided you with the one-time $500 emergency funding. The SPSA continues to coordinate with communities that have asked for their support in distributing this financial assistance.

2. Emergency and Community Support

Support from the SPSA or other organizations, such as a Tribal Council, is provided at the community’s request. If your community is supported by the SPSA, please have your information filled out on the Sask Evac Web Application.

For more information or if you need help registering, please call the SK Wildfire Inquiry Line at 1-855-559-5502, available Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (closed on statutory holidays). You can stay on the line to speak with someone directly or leave a message and someone will return your call within 24 business hours.

PDAP may help cover the cost of essential uninsurable losses, cleanup, repairs and temporary relocation, but is not a replacement for private insurance.
