Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC)

FEMA is soliciting written comments from outside agencies, organizations, and individuals regarding the Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) for Long-Term Sustainability for Provo’s Water Supply project, Provo, Utah County, Utah.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro N. Mayorkas, FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell, and Senior Advisor to the President and White House Infrastructure Coordinator Mitch Landrieu announced the project selections for nearly $3 billion in climate resilience funding as part of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda. The selections, through two competitive grant programs, will help communities across the nation enhance resilience to climate change and extreme weather events.

Every community should take steps to be disaster resilient. However, not every community has the resources they need to make that happen. FEMA’s Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities Direct Technical Assistance (BRIC DTA) initiative empowers underserved communities and Tribal nations to request hands-on, non-financial technical support from BRIC DTA. FEMA then works with the community to give them the tools they need to build disaster resiliency.

El lunes 28 de agosto FEMA anunció las selecciones para casi $3 mil millones en financiamiento para la resiliencia climática a través de dos programas de subvenciones competitivos para ayudar a las comunidades de todo el país a mejorar la resiliencia climática y ante desastres.
