The Emergency Management Agency Maine received a $7,339,422.67 federal Project Grant award from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program (CFDA 97.047). The award, made on September 16, 2024, supports the agency's efforts to enhance community resilience against natural disasters and climate change impacts through hazard mitigation planning, infrastructure hardening, emergency preparedness, and capacity-building initiatives across the state of Maine.
As part of this award, the agency has provided sub-grants to the State of Maine's Governor's Office of Policy Innovation and the Future for the development of a statewide climate resilience plan, as well as to the Town of Tremont for various coastal infrastructure projects, including wharf improvements, shoreline stabilization, and road upgrades. These sub-awards demonstrate the agency's comprehensive approach to building resilience at the state and local levels, with a focus on addressing current and future natural hazards through strategic investments in critical infrastructure and emergency management capabilities.
