The Alabama Emergency Management Agency (AEMA) was awarded a $1,324,559.30 Project Grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program. The grant will support hazard mitigation activities to build community resilience in Clanton, Alabama from September 2022 through September 2025.
The BRIC program aims to reduce risks from disasters and natural hazards. AEMA will use the FEMA funding to deliver services that strengthen infrastructure and lessen disaster impacts in Clanton over the three-year grant period. As the direct recipient, AEMA is responsible for program implementation and will coordinate mitigation efforts with local officials. Contextually, BRIC grants are intended to shift the focus from reactive disaster spending toward proactive investment in community resilience.
