Description
The Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) Grant Program, administered by the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM), is a federal hazard mitigation program designed to help states, territories, Tribal Nations, and local governments upgrade and modernize infrastructure to withstand evolving natural hazard risks. BRIC prioritizes proactive, pre-disaster investments in resilient infrastructure—such as safe rooms, utility hardening, and the relocation of critical facilities out of high-risk areas—to save lives, protect property, and reduce the costs of disaster response and recovery. The program emphasizes projects that are ready for implementation and that deliver measurable risk reduction to communities vulnerable to natural hazards.
