This fund is designed to provide rapid support recovery operations in areas of East Suffolk affected by future climate related emergency events. This report presents an adaption to the RERF terms of reference, outlining how this fund will be used in future to maintain and include elements of building resilience, as well as an emergency response to a situation.
