Insured damage from April’s flood is now around $522 million.

The Insurance Bureau of Canada provided an update on Tuesday as claims on commercial properties continues to rise.

Originally, they estimated the damage was over $228 million, however, it’s more than doubled in the past two months.

The total amount for uninsured damage is unknown, however, the government of Alberta has provided $100 million through disaster relief funding. Applications are still be accepted until September 6, 2020.
