In Fife, incidents such as flooding, fires, water outages and pandemics don’t happen very often but when they do, communities can be impacted – this includes individuals, families and businesses.
By making local response arrangements and/or investing in equipment to support a local response, your community will be ready to respond to incidents when they do happen, reducing the impacts.
If this is something your group or organisation is interested in, Fife Council is committed to empowering and supporting you, including through the provision of funding.
Fife Council’s Community Resilience Planning Fund 2021-2022 is available to support projects and activities led by community groups and voluntary organisations aimed at enhancing the resilience of local communities in Fife to incidents through enabling a local response.
Head to Fife Grants for the full criteria and application form for this fund.
Always remember that local community resilience arrangements do not replace the work of emergency responders but complement the work of these agencies.
