The City of Cranbrook is applying for the joint East Kootenay Emergency Support Services fall intake grant.
The grant is offered through the UBCM Community Emergency Preparedness Fund and covers expenses related to emergency preparedness.
It offers up to $30,000 per community, with the money being managed through the RDEK.
If successful, the money will go towards various training initiatives, the purchase of a portable air conditioner and other supplies.
The city was successful earlier this year in receiving the grant money from the spring intake.
That grant went towards additional stockpiles of cots, blankets, pillows, and hygiene items, as well as a 20-foot sea can for additional storage space.
