FIFE Council have opened applications for its Property Flood Resilience Grant (PFRG) scheme.
It provides £500,000 worth of support to private homes and businesses that may be affected by flooding, offering grants of up to £5,000 per property.
Councillor Jan Wincott, environment spokesperson, said: "In recent years, Fife has been impacted by a number of extreme weather events.
"This new grant scheme to support property resilience is now open for applications.
“It will provide much needed help to our communities affected by flooding, as well as putting measures in place to help protect against the risk of flooding in the future."
She said the council's Climate Fife 2024 Strategy and Action Plan includes helping residents and properties become more resilient to flooding.
Officers will also assist applicants to speak to the Scottish Flood Forum to obtain a property flood assessment report.
To submit an application and for more information on eligibility, go to www.fife.gov.uk/PFRG or call 03451 55 00 11 (option 4).
