FEMA’s BRIC Direct Technical Assistance Application Period Now Open
FEMA seeks to provide non-financial direct technical assistance to a maximum of 20 communities to support mitigation outcomes of the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program. Support is available for both project- or application-specific needs and community-wide resilience needs.

Technical assistance may include working with communities to ensure stakeholders are capable of building and sustaining successful mitigation programs, helping communities develop high-quality applications, developing local partnership networks and assistance with implementing new and innovative projects that reduce risk from a wide range of natural hazards.
