The Tennessee Emergency Management Agency (TEMA) was awarded a $2,211,000.00 Project Grant on March 2, 2024 under the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program (CFDA 97.047). The grant funding will support TEMA's efforts to enhance statewide emergency management capabilities, coordinate with federal and local partners, and implement critical disaster response and recovery initiatives across Tennessee. Key activities to be delivered through this award include emergency protective measures during disasters, repairs to damaged public facilities, hazard mitigation projects, cybersecurity enhancements, and crisis counseling for affected communities. TEMA plans to issue sub-awards to local governments, nonprofits, and other state entities to implement these emergency management initiatives at the local level, leveraging the agency's expertise in areas such as emergency planning, hazard mitigation, and public safety communications.
