The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA’s) Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) Program is a new, nationally competitive Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) that supports states, local communities, tribes, and territories (SLTT’s). The BRIC Program was developed to support communities as they build mitigation capacity, develop innovative solutions, and establish partnerships. It is designed to enable investments in larger scale infrastructure projects to bolster vital community lifelines. Through BRIC, communities can make proactive investments in their resilience with the goal of reducing disaster risk.
Hagerty’s subject matter experts and hazard mitigation practitioners stand ready to help your community navigate this new and exciting program. Across the nation, we are supporting clients across multiple tasks, including:

- Composing a cost estimate and narrative that describes all anticipated costs associated with the SOW;
- Completing a well-documented Benefit Cost Analysis (BCA);
