One hundred Vancouver Island families will need to find a new place to live for the next month as they wait for disaster relief funding.

Forced out by last week's floods, and dealing with the loss of most of their possessions, the Duncan-area homeowners spent the weekend filling out paperwork to get their funding. Jim Price speaks for the emergency program. He says they'll be eligible for 80 cents on the dollar up to $300-thousand, "It is a helping hand, it's not insurance. We are providing an amount that in the past for most people will be adequate and there's lots of organizations around that can help these folks out."

Most of the homeowners lived in a flood zone and were uninsured.
