Oregon Department of Emergency Management Announces Release of FEMA BRIC FY 2024–25 Funding Opportunity

The Oregon Department of Emergency Management (OEM) announced today that the Federal Emergency Management Agency has released the combined fiscal year 2024 and fiscal year 2025 Notice of Funding Opportunity for the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities, or BRIC, grant program.

The Flood Mitigation Assistance FY 2024 Notice of Funding Opportunity was not included in this release and is still pending. FEMA also did not include Direct Technical Assistance in the FY 2024-25 BRIC cycle.

Pre-applications may now be submitted through the OEM pre-application form, with instructions and materials available on the Hazard Mitigation page at oem.oregon.gov.
