Description
The Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program makes federal funds available to states, U.S territories, Indian tribal governments, and local communities for pre-disaster mitigation activities. The guiding principles of the program are to: (1) support state and local governments, tribes, and territories through capability- and capacity-building to enable them to identify mitigation actions and implement projects that reduce risks posed by natural hazards; (2) encourage and enable innovation while allowing flexibility, consistency, and effectiveness; (3) promote partnerships and enable high-impact investments to reduce risk from natural hazards with a focus on critical services and facilities, public infrastructure, public safety, public health, and communities; (4) provide a significant opportunity to reduce future losses and minimize impacts on the Disaster Relief Fund (DRF); and (5) support the adoption and enforcement of building codes, standards, and policies that will protect the health, safety, and general welfare of the public, take into account future conditions , and have long-lasting impacts on community risk-reduction, including for critical services and facilities and for future disaster costs. In FY20 BRIC, FEMA will provide State/Territory allocations of $600,000 to states and territories and a Tribal Set-Aside of $20,000,000 for Indian tribal governments (federally-recognized) for mitigation projects and capability- and capacity-buildling (C&CB) activities. Any funds which are not awarded from the State/Territory Allocation or Tribal Set-Aside will be re-allocated to the national competition for mitigation projects. Applicants must submit applications via FEMA Grant Outcomes (FEMA GO) system: https://go.fema.gov.
