Four communities in the Prince George-Vanderhoof area are receiving provincial dollars to expand emergency support services.
Through the Community Emergency Preparedness Fund, Prince George and Vanderhoof each got a $30,000 cut of the funding pie.
PG will use the money for equipment, volunteer retention activities and exercises while Vanderhoof is set to put a focus on reception centre setup equipment as well as communications and training.
In addition, the McLeod Lake Indian Band was the recipient of $30,000, which will go towards volunteer development opportunity and equipment.
Nak’azdli Whut’en was approved 10-grand for information technology equipment and a joint ESS grant.
