FEMA’s new Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) Program provides funding to states and localities to implement pre-disaster mitigation activities that reduce risk and disaster costs, and increase the resilience of critical infrastructure. BRIC replaced the Pre-Disaster Mitigation Program as part of the Disaster Recovery Reform Act (DRRA) of 2018 and allows for FEMA, with respect to each major disaster, to set aside up to six percent of the aggregate amount of federal assistance for the BRIC program. This workshop provides counties with insights on how to access and utilize BRIC, including additional information program, application process and project eligibility.
