A total of 39 local entities in Galicia with Civil Protection Volunteer Groups (AVPC) have received emergency equipment from the Xunta, according to the resolution published today in the Official Gazette of Galicia.

The order, co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund under the operational program Feder-Galicia 2021-2027, establishes the guidelines for the award of this equipment to municipalities with fewer than 50,000 inhabitants, inter-municipal associations, and groups of Galician municipalities.
The equipment provided includes 19 kits of logistical road safety material distributed to six municipalities in A Coruña, one in Lugo, nine in Ourense, and three in Pontevedra. Additionally, 20 kits of power tools have been awarded to five municipalities in A Coruña, two in Lugo, seven in Ourense, and four in Pontevedra, along with the Mancomunidades of O Val Miñor and the Agrupación de Concellos de Ribeira de Miño, both in Pontevedra.
Beneficiary entities will have ten working days from the receipt of the favorable resolution notification to accept or decline the grant. The estimated timeframe for signing the material transfer agreement is three months from its receipt.
This call aims to equip municipalities with civil protection and emergency services, reinforcing their response capacity and ensuring effective and safe action in risk situations.
