Hazard Mitigation Assistance: Building
Resilient Infrastructure and
Communities
Federal Emergency
Management Agency, DHS.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

The Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) is issuing
the Building Resilient Infrastructure and
Communities Policy. This policy
describes a new hazard mitigation grant
program to assist States, territories,
Tribes, and local governments with
mitigating the impacts of natural
hazards, including those created,
aggravated, or amplified by climate
change. The new program is funded by
a FEMA 6 percent set aside of estimated
disaster expenses for each major
disaster, supersedes the Pre-Disaster
Mitigation grant program, and promotes
a national culture of preparedness
through encouraging investments to
protect communities and infrastructure
by increasing pre-disaster hazard
mitigation and strengthening national
resilience.
