Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities

Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) is a hazard mitigation program that makes federal funds available to states, U.S. territories, federally recognized Tribal Nations, and local governments for hazard mitigation activities. These activities include upgrading and modernizing the nation’s infrastructure against the growing risks to communities and the need for natural hazard risk mitigation activities to promote resilience for natural hazards.

BRIC empowers states, local governments, Tribal Nations, and territories to make smart investments in resilient infrastructure. By supporting pre-disaster and hazard mitigation projects — such as school safe rooms, utility hardening, relocating critical facilities out of flood areas, and securing pump stations — BRIC aims to save lives, protect property, and reduce the cost of future disaster response and recovery.

FEMA has published the Fiscal Years 2024-25 funding opportunity for the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities program. The application period is open for 120 days and the deadline for submissions is July 23, 2026.

Eligible applicants and subapplicants must apply through the FEMA Grants Outcomes (FEMA GO) portal. The full Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is published on Grants.gov.

Previous subapplications submitted for the initial BRIC funding opportunity published in January 2025 will not be reviewed. FEMA encourages applicants and subapplicants to review, update and resubmit new applications in accordance with this new Fiscal Years 2024-25 BRIC funding opportunity.
