The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law unlocks $1 billion for FEMA’s Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program, which will help states, local communities, tribes, and territories undertake hazard mitigation projects and reduce the risks they face from disasters and natural hazards.

This Local Infrastructure Hub session focused on how cities and towns can develop competitive BRIC applications. During this session, participants had the opportunity to speak directly with leading experts and mayors from across the country who will provide strategic insights and shared experiences on building resilient communities and delivering results.

This session will featured several special guest speakers, including Camille Crain, BRIC Section Chief at FEMA.
