Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) in Alaska

How it works

The state says Alaska participates in FEMA’s Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) grant program, which provides grant funds to state agencies and local communities for mitigation projects before a disaster occurs. The page identifies wildfire / combustible fuels reduction projects as one eligible project type.

What the money covers

The page lists wildfire / combustible fuels reduction projects among the eligible mitigation activities. It is a mitigation grant program, so the funding is aimed at project implementation rather than homeowner cash assistance.

Amounts and matching

• The page states the total BRIC FY2024 and FY2025 amount is $1 billion.
• It lists a maximum amount available per state/territory or tribal applicant/sub-applicant of up to $2 million.
• The page does not state a homeowner award amount.

How to apply

The Alaska page provides the application window and dates for the current cycle.

• Open application window: March 25, 2026 to July 23, 2026.
• Date application due to the State of Alaska: May 15, 2026.
