UBCM: Funding for evacuation route planning

The Community Emergency Preparedness Fund’s 2023 Public Notification and Evacuation Route Planning funding stream is now open for applications. The submission deadline is April 28.

This funding stream supports eligible applicants in the development of Evacuation Route Plans and/or Public Notification Plans that provide information for local governments, First Nations, and community members in the event of an emergency.
