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 program’s guiding principles are supporting communities through capability and capacity building; encouraging and enabling innovation; promoting partnerships; enabling large infrastructure projects; maintaining flexibility; and providing consistency.



Fiscal Year 2023 Funding Opportunities for the BRIC and Flood Mitigation Assistance Grant Programs



On Oct. 12, 2023, FEMA published the fiscal year 2023 funding opportunities for the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities and the Flood Mitigation Assistancegrant programs, totaling $1.8 billion.



For this grant application cycle, BRIC’s available funding is $1 billion, and for Flood Mitigation Assistance, the available funding is $800 million. These funds will help state, local, tribal, and territorial governments address future risks to natural disasters, foster greater community resilience and reduce disaster suffering.

Fiscal Year 2022 Final Selections



The BRIC program gives states, local communities, tribes and territories funding to address future risks to natural disasters, including wildfires, drought, hurricanes, earthquakes, extreme heat, and flooding. Addressing these risks helps make communities more resilient.



On Aug. 28, 2023, FEMA announced the final selection of subapplications eligible for the nearly $3 billion available in the FY 2022 grant cycle.

By the Numbers



In total for this grant cycle, FEMA received 803 subapplications, totaling more than $4.6 billion from 55 states, territories and the District of Columbia. The agency also received requests from 37 tribal nations.



Of the BRIC grant program submissions, FEMA received subapplications from 127 Economically Disadvantaged Rural Communities, a 15% increase from last year.



The program offers an increased cost share, 90% federal share, for Economically Disadvantaged Rural Communities, as well as 100% management costs for all.



Funding Structure



A unique element of this program is the funding structure comprised of three separate application opportunities. The State or Territory Allocation and the Tribal Set-Aside selections were announced in May 2023. The status of the National Competition subapplications was announced in August 2023.



alert - infoView BRIC selections from previous subapplication cycles in FY 2021 and FY 2020.



About the Selection Process



As part of FEMA’s commitment to the Justice40 Initiative to instill equity as a foundation of emergency management, FEMA prioritized and selected project subapplications, which includes tribes, Economically Disadvantaged Rural Communities and other disadvantaged communities.



By implementing a phased approach, this selection strategy allows FEMA to expedite the award and implement mitigation solutions to communities who need it most.



BRIC Direct Technical Assistance (BRIC DTA)



In addition to project selections, the BRIC program offers help to communities and tribes in the form of non-financial technical assistance that can provide holistic hazard mitigation planning and project support.



There are currently 28 communities and tribes participating in this initiative. In May 2023,  46 more communities and tribes were selected for consideration.



There is no requirement for a previous BRIC grant sub-application or award or an approved hazard mitigation plan to be considered for this initiative.



Visit the BRIC Direct Technical Assistance webpage for more information on the initiative, or view this year’s communities and tribal nations selections.
