Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC)

How it works

The Alaska mitigation office says the state participates in FEMA’s Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities program, which provides grant funds to state agencies and local communities for mitigation projects before a disaster event.

What the money covers

The page lists wildfire / combustible fuels reduction projects as one eligible project type. It also mentions natural-hazard protective measures for utilities, water, and sanitary sewer systems, along with localized stormwater management and flood control projects.

Amounts and matching

The page lists overall BRIC funding availability for FY 2024 and 2025 and says the maximum amount available per state/territory or tribal applicant/sub-applicant is up to $2 million. The page does not give a homeowner grant amount.

How to apply

The state page provides the application window and deadline information for the current cycle and says applications are due first to the State of Alaska and, in some cases, directly to FEMA for Tribal Direct applications.

Timing and deadlines

The page lists an open application window of March 25, 2026 to July 23, 2026, with a due date to the State of Alaska of May 15, 2026 and a direct-to-FEMA tribal deadline of July 23, 2026.
