The Community Emergency Preparedness Fund (CEPF) for structural flood mitigation projects has an application deadline of Friday October 25, 2019. The maximum available grant is $750,000.00. The Program & Application Guide and application forms are available. All BC local governments and First Nations (bands and Treaty First Nations) are eligible to apply.
The intent of this funding stream is to support eligible applicants to prevent, eliminate or reduce the impacts of hazards through the construction of structural flood mitigation projects. Ongoing operational and maintenance costs are not eligible. This funding is provided by the Province of BC and administered by UBCM.
Approved applicants are required to grant the province free and clear access and distribution rights to use, reproduce, modify and distribute, any and all of the spatial data products acquired/produced using CEPF funding. See the revised September Program and Application Guide for details.
