Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities

The Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program supports states, local and territorial governments and Tribal Nations as they work to reduce their hazard risk.

The program aims to support communities as they build capability and capacity. BRIC also encourages and aids innovation. It helps partnerships grow; supports infrastructure projects; and fosters flexibility and consistency.

On July 2, 2024, FEMA announced the subapplicants selected for the BRIC program in four funding opportunities:

• State or Territory Allocation
• Tribal Set-Aside
• State or Territory Building Code Plus-Up
• Tribal Building Code Plus-Up
• National Competition

The federal cost share for these totaled more than $882.6 million. In addition, 93 communities, territories and Tribal Nations were announced for the FY23 BRIC Direct Technical Assistance initiative.

An additional $116.2 million for recipient management costs is allocated for 79 states, Tribes, territories, and the District of Columbia. This brings the total amount of funding for this BRIC grant cycle to nearly $1 billion.

Subapplicants should contact their state, Tribe or territory (applicant level) Hazard Mitigation Office. You can also reach out to the FEMA Regional Office with any questions.
