Emergency Operations Centres Equipment and Training │ Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM)

All First Nations (bands, modern Treaty First Nations with treaties that are in effect, and Indigenous National Governments with authority for lands and resources) and local governments (municipalities and regional districts) in BC are eligible to apply.

Eligible applicants can submit one application per funding stream intake. This includes applying as a sub-applicant in a regional application.

For the purpose of CEPF funding, the following agencies are able to act as a primary applicant:

• An emergency management organization that is created by a regional district service establishing bylaw and approved by the Province of BC may act as the primary applicant on behalf of eligible applicants that participate in the established emergency management service. When acting as a primary applicant on behalf of eligible applicants, the regional emergency management organization may submit more than one application per funding stream intake provided that each eligible First Nation or local government that is included as a sub-applicant is only funded once per intake.
• An Indigenous governing body with authority for emergency management may act as the primary applicant on behalf of eligible First Nations. The Indigenous governing body may submit more than one application per funding stream intake provided that each eligible First Nation that is included as a sub-applicant is only funded once per intake.
