Provincial Funding for Emergency Operations Centres Including Fraser Valley

Victoria/Fraser Valley – Local governments and First Nations in 54 communities have been approved to receive their share of more than $1.8 million in provincial emergency preparedness funding to support the work of emergency operations centres.

The Province provides the funding, which is administered by the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) and divided into seven streams:

  • Flood risk assessment, flood mapping and flood mitigation planning
  • Emergency support services
