The Federal Emergency Management Administration has announced two Notices of Funding Opportunities for hazard mitigation totaling over $660 million. The two grant programs, the Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) grant and the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC), will allow states, local communities, tribes and territories to secure funding for eligible mitigation activities that will reduce future disaster losses.
FEMA is offering a series of informational webinars to provide an overview of the grant programs and details about the agency’s funding priorities and review process. The first webinar is scheduled for Tuesday, August 18 at 1:00 p.m. CST, and registration information will be available soon. The application period for both grants opens on September 30. Eligible applicants must apply for funding using the new FEMA Grants Outcome (FEMA GO), which is now the management system for FMA and BRIC. Applications are due to the FEMA GO Portal by 2:00 p.m. on January 29, 2021. More information is available on FEMA’s website.
