Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities Program (BRIC)

How it works

The BRIC grant program provides funds for hazard mitigation planning and the implementation of mitigation projects prior to a disaster event. The page says the program is intended to reduce overall risks to the population and structures, while also reducing reliance on funding from actual disaster declarations.

What the money covers

BRIC can fund hazard mitigation planning and mitigation projects before a disaster occurs. The page does not list specific home-hardening measures or dollar amounts.

Timing and deadlines

BRIC grants are part of an annual nationally competitive grant process. The page does not provide open or close dates.

What a homeowner should know

This program is described at the state level as part of North Dakota’s mitigation resources, but the page does not say that homeowners apply directly. It is a pre-disaster mitigation grant program that typically works through eligible applicants and competitive grant cycles.
