The Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS) received a $284,263.84 Project Grant award from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program (CFDA 97.047). The award is for a diverse range of hazard mitigation activities aimed at reducing risks from natural disasters and climate change impacts across the state of Indiana. Eligible activities include planning, building code initiatives, project scoping, infrastructure hardening, emergency preparedness, and capacity building efforts to enhance community resilience, protect critical infrastructure, improve public safety, and implement innovative solutions to address current and future hazards. As the prime recipient, IDHS serves as a pass-through entity, distributing sub-awards to local and regional partners such as emergency management agencies, fire departments, nonprofits, and local governments to carry out the grant-funded projects and initiatives within their respective jurisdictions.
