This federal Project Grant award in the amount of $855,192.10 was provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program (CFDA 97.047). The grant was awarded to the New Jersey Department of Law & Public Safety, which serves as the State Administering Agency, on September 6, 2023.

The BRIC program provides federal funding to state, territorial, tribal, and local governments for hazard mitigation activities that reduce risks from natural disasters, promote climate adaptation and resilience, support community preparedness, and enable critical infrastructure investments. Under this award, the New Jersey Department of Law & Public Safety will utilize the grant funding to undertake planning, project scoping, hazard mitigation initiatives, and other resilience-building efforts across the state. The department collaborates with various sub-recipients, including non-profit organizations, universities, and private sector partners, to deliver these services and support statewide emergency preparedness and disaster risk reduction objectives.
