Fiscal Year 2021 Hazard Mitigation Assistance Notices of Funding Opportunity

Event Details

Each year, FEMA’s publishes Notices of Funding Opportunity for the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) and the Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) grant programs. These competitive grant programs assist state, local, tribal and territorial governments to build a culture of preparedness by strengthening our nation’s ability to reduce disaster losses and protect life and property from future disaster damage.

The Fiscal Year 2021 funding notices provide detailed program information, grant application requirements and other administrative requirements needed to apply for funding.  Additional resources and information are available on this FEMA webpage.
