Fife Council’s Community Emergency Planning funding scheme offers financial support to Community Groups/Organisations that have, in partnership with Fife Council’s Emergency Resilience Team, developed a Community Emergency Plan to enhance their local community’s resilience.
This plan enables the community to respond to the local impacts of disruptive incidents and emergencies even before emergency responders arrive, as well as continuing to support the response after the emergency services are on the scene.
This funding will be used to purchase equipment to assist with the activation and maintenance of a Community’s Emergency Plan.
This funding is available for those Community Groups/Organisations that have developed a Community Emergency Plan in partnership with Fife Council’s Emergency Resilience Team.
Community Groups and Organisations can use this funding to purchase equipment that will support the activation and maintenance of their plan, such as (but not limited to):
High visibility jackets
ID cards
Snow shovels
Torches
Emergency communication equipment
While funds permit, funding of up to £500 per community group and organisations is available, this will then be reduced to a maximum of £300 per community group/organisation.
Upon applying, community groups/organisations will be asked to provide details of their proposed purchases, including costs, and how these will be used to support the activation or maintenance of their Community Emergency Plan.
