The Federal Emergency Management Agency awarded a $109,883 Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) Program grant to the South Carolina Emergency Management Division on February 24, 2022 for hazard mitigation activities through February 23, 2025. The BRIC Program makes federal funds available to states and local communities for projects that reduce risks from disasters and natural hazards. Under this award, the Division will conduct a Charleston County Vulnerability Assessment to identify risks and resilience-building opportunities. Charleston County Government will serve as a sub-awardee to assist with the assessment. The BRIC Program's guiding principles of prioritizing life and safety while promoting partnerships and nature-based infrastructure solutions will help inform the Division's work under this award.
