Through the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities Direct Technical Assistance initiative, FEMA can provide holistic hazard mitigation planning and project support at the earliest stages to communities, tribal nations and territories requesting assistance. This non-financial assistance helps communities and tribes in reducing disaster damage, building community resilience, and sustaining successful mitigation programs.
During the process, FEMA will engage with each community to further explore and better understand their specific requests for technical assistance.

In 2024, FEMA selected 93 more communities, territories, and tribal nations for this initiative. It is currently working with 74 communities and tribes—increasing the number to 167.
