Grants open to reduce disaster risk across Victoria
Disaster risk reduction activities across Victoria will be bolstered with $6.5 million of joint Australian and Victorian Government funding now available.
The Risk and Resilience Grants Program is part of a $33.4 million five-year commitment under the National Partnership Agreement on Disaster Risk Reduction to reduce the risk and impact of natural disasters in Victoria.
Minister for Emergency Management David Littleproud said that the grants would be available to provide expert agencies with the resources they need to prepare and respond to natural disasters now and into the future.
“This funding will support the Victorian emergency management sector to develop effective strategies to minimise the impact of floods, bushfires and other devastating disasters,” Minister Littleproud said.
