The State of Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, doing business as the Colorado Division of Emergency Management, received a $8,116,746 federal Project Grant award from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program (CFDA 97.047). The grant award, dated October 24, 2024, supports the Division's efforts to enhance disaster preparedness, response, and recovery capabilities across Colorado through hazard mitigation, infrastructure protection, and community resilience initiatives. The funding will enable the Division to partner with local governments and organizations to implement projects that reduce risks from natural disasters and strengthen emergency response systems, such as repairing disaster-damaged facilities, implementing flood mitigation measures, and enhancing community resilience to natural hazards. As a prime recipient, the Division will sub-award portions of the grant to local entities like the City of Lakewood to support localized resilience projects.
