The Northern Territory and Australian Governments are calling for applications for the 2011/2012 NT Disaster Resilience Emergency Volunteer Fund.

Grant applications up to a value of $50,000 will be accepted from 15 November 2010 to 29 April 2011.

The NT Disaster Resilience Emergency Volunteer Fund is part of the Natural Disaster Resilience Program made possible through a National Partnership Agreement between the Northern Territory Government and the Australian Government.

The Natural Disaster Resilience Program focuses on building resilience in communities to withstand natural disasters.

As part of this program, the NT Disaster Resilience Emergency Volunteer Fund enables volunteer organisations at the frontline of Territory emergency management to submit applications for recruitment, retention, training and equipment that will improve their ability to respond to natural disasters.
