FEMA Now Accepting Volunteers for the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities Virtual National Review Panels

FEMA is beginning the award selection process for the BRIC grant program for fiscal year 2022 and convening a virtual National Review Panel to score subapplications. BRIC is a competitive FEMA grant program to support states, local communities, tribes and territories. The panel reviews submitted subapplications for hazard mitigation projects that aim to reduce the risk from disasters and natural hazards. 

FEMA needs volunteers from state, local, tribal and territorial governments and other federal agencies to participate on the panels. FEMA anticipates the panels will increase transparency into the decision-making process for applicants, while building capability and partnerships with the panelists.
