Initial Announcement – Subject to Change
Note that the official FEMA BRIC and FMA NOFO’s have not been posted and the information within this announcement is subject to change based on the posted NOFO.
Overview
Colorado communities once again have the opportunity to reduce their long-term risks from natural hazards with assistance from FEMA’s two annual competitive Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA)
programs:
- Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC)
- Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA)
These programs help elected officials, public works agencies, capital improvement staffs and other local officials to implement mitigation projects that can dramatically reduce the impacts of a future natural disaster. This opportunity provides funding for communities to implement mitigation activities that reduce risk to life, property and infrastructure from natural hazards. In Colorado, natural hazards include wildfire, flooding, drought, winter storms, extreme heat and other hazards identified in the Enhanced State Hazard Mitigation Plan.
The priorities of these two programs include but are not limited to enhancing climate resilience and adaption, incorporating nature-based solutions, promoting equity and incentivizing natural hazard risk reduction activities.
