world globeEnglish
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) provided the Department of Homeland Security and its components $8 billion for infrastructure projects. Of that, **FEMA received $6.8B for community-wide mitigation** to reduce disaster suffering and avoid future disaster costs in the face of more frequent and severe events.



Key priorities include:



Investing public dollars wisely and equitably to reach under-served communitiesCreating stronger and more resilient infrastructureBuilding sustainable partnerships with state, local, tribal and territorial governments to tackle the climate crisisAdvancing environmental justice and investing in communities that have too often been left behindalert - info**Ready for a career?** Learn more about employment opportunities from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
