Answer
The Scheme of Emergency Financial Assistance (SEFA) is available to provide financial support to councils in the event of an emergency.
SEFA flooding and non-flooding schemes may cover the cost of materials used for urgent repairs to council-owned buildings or amenities. However, they do not fund improvements beyond restoring the original condition.
