Bail-outs are not just without a treaty base but are expressly prohibited by article 125. Best not to read the treaty then, perhaps.

So, hit by widespread flooding and a clean-up costing the earth, Britain is entitled to EU financial assistance under article 122. Unlike bail-out money it would be unconditional, involving no union control.
Funnily enough, I would have said this money would definitely be classified as "bail out" money. Not to mention "mopping out" and "drying up" money!
