The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) awarded a $609,523.81 Project Grant on August 21, 2023 to the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (NYSDHSES) under the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program (CFDA 97.047). The BRIC program provides federal funds for hazard mitigation activities to enhance community resilience. Through this grant, NYSDHSES will utilize the funding to administer sub-awards to state/local governments, non-profits, and other partners to support a range of emergency preparedness, response, and mitigation initiatives across New York. Common program areas include operating emergency operations centers, providing hazardous materials training, implementing flood control projects, conducting public outreach, repairing critical infrastructure, and coordinating regional preparedness efforts. As the lead state agency for emergency management, NYSDHSES plays a vital role in coordinating these BRIC-funded activities that strengthen New York's overall resilience to natural disasters and other hazards.
