In 2004 the Australian Government announced the “Working Together to Manage Emergencies” policy initiative. This policy recognises the need to develop self-reliance, both in the community and at local government levels, in order to enhance community safety.
Over a four year period this initiative will provide $49 million in grants through two programs; the Local Grants Scheme (LGS) and the National Emergency Volunteer Support Fund (NEVSF). These programs are managed by Emergency Management Australia (EMA), a division of the Attorney-General’s Department, through a partnership between State and Territory Governments, communities, local authorities and emergency management sector representatives.
