On Wednesday, the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency launched the portal developed by its Recovery Task Team.

The tool is meant to help residents, municipalities, businesses and agricultural producers.

It includes:

Emergency support for flooding;

• Recovery information for homeowners and municipalities;
• Business support and recovery resources;
• Information for agricultural producers;
• Environmental information; and
• Flood forecasting advisories and technical guidance.

“When flooding impacts communities, people need clear information and timely support. The portal was created to ensure people affected by flooding can quickly find reliable information and access available services in one convenient location,” said Community Safety Minister Michael Weger in a news release.

“The Recovery Task Team will continue building on this work to ensure residents, businesses and agricultural producers receive the support they need to recover.”

The Recovery Task Team was created during the record-breaking 2025 wildfire season to support recovery efforts in Denare Beach and other areas.

The team consists of representatives of various provincial ministries, agencies and Crown corporations seeking to provide a structured and unified approach for recovery after emergencies and disasters.
