Perhaps someone with more legal reading ability can chime in?

1) The new provincial flood proofing standards will only apply if you are planning to make a claim through our Disaster Recovery Program. If you decide to use personal funds to pay for repairs to your home, you'll be able to decide which, if any, flood proofing measures you want to take. The requirement to flood proof to provincial standards will only apply if you're accessing provincial funds to make repairs to your home and you want to have the option to make another claim through our Disaster Recovery Program in the event of a future flood.
In this case AND is the key word.
The requirement will only apply if you take money and want future protection.
Meaning that you have to meet both conditions to maintain protection.
If it said
The requirement will only apply if you take money or want future protection
then either condition would require you to flood proof your home.
