Donations

Please note that GPREP will not accept unrequested donations of physical items like clothing or household items. Large quantities of unrequested items, during an emergency can cause significant problems to receive sort, display and distribute at a time that is not appropriate or helpful to impacted households.

Monetary donation for the benefit of impacted communities can be made through the Northwestern Alberta Foundation (NAF) at the link below.

Temporary Access Permits

When there are favourable conditions and risk has been sufficiently reduced, Temporary Access Permits may be authorized so residents, agricultural producers, contractors, and utility providers can complete essential functions.

Individuals may request access to retrieve medication, support dependants, or care for animals. Agricultural access may be approved for livestock care or urgent seasonal work. Contractor and utility access may be approved for operational support, repairs, or emergency-related field work.

Submitting an application does not guarantee approval. Access may be limited, rescinded, or denied if incident conditions change.
