Description
In Upper Austria, ongoing grant funding supports the rapid restoration of private assets following severe natural disasters. Eligible applicants include natural and legal persons – ranging from agricultural enterprises to commercial and industrial businesses, as well as associations, cooperatives, or individuals – whose property has been affected by snow pressure, hurricane, landslide, flood, earth slip, mudslide, avalanche, earthquake, or hail. Applications must be submitted within 30 days of the damage occurrence through the responsible municipality or city council and require an official municipal confirmation. The objective is to promptly secure livelihoods and regional engagement while minimizing future burdens as much as possible.
A prerequisite for approval is the existence of a particular hardship relative to the personal and economic situation, as well as the assurance of economic restorability with reasonable use of funds. Own resources must be used appropriately, and exclusion criteria must not apply – such as minor damages, damages to secondary residences, revenue losses as entrepreneurial risk, fire or building collapses, costs of preventive measures, or damages to vehicles. The application must include, among other documents, the unit value assessment notice, annual financial statement or income-expenditure account, income proofs, extract from the register of associations (for associations), as well as meaningful photographs of the damage event. Complete documentation enables prompt processing and supports applicants in efficiently implementing the restoration of their tangible assets.
