Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) and Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) 2022
Details
Purpose:
Authorized by Section 203 of the Stafford Act, Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) will support states, local communities, tribes and territories as they undertake hazard mitigation projects, reducing the risks they face from disasters and natural hazards. FMA is authorized by Section1366 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended (NFIA), 42 U.S.C. 4104c, with the goal of reducing or eliminating claims.
Description:
BRIC aims to implement projects that reduce risks posed by natural hazards to reduce future losses, by funding priority projects and activities. Priorities include risk reduction of both acute events and chronic stressors, driven by climate change, which are either observed or expected. To achieve these goals, for FY 2022 BRIC is prioritizing the following types of projects: infrastructure projects, projects that benefit disadvantaged communities as referenced in EO 14008, projects that incorporate nature-based solutions including those designed to reduce carbon emissions, climate change adaptation and resilience projects, and projects proposed by applicants who adopt and enforce mandatory Tribal-, territory-, or state-wide building codes based on the latest published editions of building codes. FEMA will measure the percent of dollars invested in these priorities, which will indicate that BRIC projects expect to meet the goal of reducing both risks posed by natural hazards and future losses.
Along with FEMA’s NOFO guidelines, Cal OES recommends that subapplicants further consider the competitiveness of the BRIC program when proposing projects. Projects are most likely to be successful if they address one or more of the following:
High-impact, neighborhood scale, natural hazard risk reduction that mitigates risk to critical infrastructure or achieves whole community risk-reduction. Provide protection and benefits for disadvantaged communities Address climate impacts including sea level rise, drought, extreme precipitation or heat, wildfire, and/or more frequent storms (where applicable) Projects that advance climate adaptation, including through inspiring generational infrastructure change and/or by including one or more nature-based solution (NBS) are particularly encouraged. Where appropriate, subapplications should describe how the project will make the community more resilient to climate change. Address and anticipate future conditions including those related to climate, demographic, population, and/or land use changes Project details should include how future conditions were considered in the planning, design, and operation stages and how the project will help communities better respond to these conditions. Include unique or innovative partnerships such as public-private partnerships.
