FEMA Seeking Volunteers for BRIC National Review Panel

FEMA is seeking volunteers from federal, state, local, tribal and territorial governments to participate on the virtual national review panels for Fiscal Year 2021 Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) subapplications.

Volunteers will leverage their experience and expertise during the review process to assess the degree to which subapplications meet the six BRIC qualitative evaluation criteria:

• Risk reduction and resiliency effectiveness.
• Climate change and other future conditions.
• Implementation measures.
• Population impacted.
• Outreach activities.
• Leveraging partners.

ASFPM members who are interested in serving as reviewers should apply by Jan. 14. 2022. 

FEMA expects the panel will increase transparency into the decision-making process for applicants, while building capability and partnerships with the panelists. FEMA anticipates hosting the virtual panel from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. ET between March 7 – 25, 2022 and requests that prospective panelists be available for a minimum of five consecutive business days. Reviews will be conducted virtually.
