The intent of this funding stream is to support eligible applicants to develop Evacuation Route Plans and/or Public Notification Plans that provide information for First Nations, local governments, and community members in the event of an emergency.
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 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.
Emergency management organizations created by a regional district and Indigenous governing bodies that are interested in submitting an application to act as the primary applicant must contact UBCM in advance of submitting an application and will be required to provide appropriate documentation related to membership, authority, and area of service.
Eligible costs are direct costs that are approved for funding, properly and reasonably incurred, and paid by the applicant to carry out eligible activities. Eligible costs can only be incurred from the date of application submission until the final report is submitted.
Eligible activities must result in the completion of a new or updated Evacuation Route Plan and/or new or updated Public Notification Plan, be cost-effective, and are limited to:
Amendments to relevant local plans, bylaws, or policies that are specific to evacuation route and/or public notification planning (e.g., Official Community Plan, land use plans, engineering and public works bylaws or policies).
Applications will be accepted from September 1, 2025 until April 24, 2026.
