People in Wales who have been affected by flooding as a result of Storm Ciara and Storm Dennis can claim £1,000.
The money is available to those whose homes have been affected from the Welsh Government.
All households affected by flooding throughout Wales will receive £500. An extra £500 will be available to those without house insurance cover and people will receive an initial payment within 24 hours.
First Minister Mark Drakeford said: “When I met people from flood-hit communities over the last week I saw for myself the stress, strain, and loss people are experiencing. We want to do all we can to help them at this extremely stressful time.
"I also saw the extreme pressure people are under if they didn’t have insurance cover or if their insurance policies do not cover flooding. To help those people we are providing additional money to those not covered by house insurance.
“The Welsh Government has set up a £10m emergency fund to help with the immediate aftermath of the floods but the cost of infrastructure damage and the investment needed to address the climate emergency go far beyond this.
“The UK Government also has a role in responding to these floods and a responsibility to the people of Wales. After a week of silence in the face of this emergency, we urgently need to hear what longer-term support communities can expect from the UK Government.”
Mr Drakeford met with Secretary of State for Wales Simon Hart on Monday. Mr Hart said the UK Government will look seriously at any request from the Welsh Government for additional support and assistance for flood relief.
