Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) supports states, local communities, tribes and territories as they undertake hazard mitigation projects, reducing the risks they face from disasters and natural hazards. The BRIC program guiding principles are supporting communities through capability- and capacity-building; encouraging and enabling innovation; promoting partnerships; enabling large projects; maintaining flexibility; and providing consistency.

Notes

• The BRIC program is a relatively new increase in funding from FEMA.
  • $700M was distributed in FFY20, and mostly to flood hazard reduction
  • $1.16B was distributed in FFY2021

Questions

• Does BRIC use the same benefit/cost analysis (BCA) used in other FEMA programs like Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP)
