FEMA has announced $1 billion in funding through the FY24–25 Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program.

BRIC continues to emphasize proactive investment, helping communities reduce future damage, protect lives, and lower recovery costs over time because resilience starts before disaster hits.

This funding supports a wide range of projects, from large-scale infrastructure improvements to initiatives that reduce risk from natural hazards before disasters strike.

The application window is now open and closes July 23, 2026.

Our team is here to support every step of the process! Connect with us to position your project for success at www.metric-consulting.com.

Winter Storm Fern is now tracking across the U.S. and expected to impact a massive swath of the country — potentially over 230 million people — with heavy snow, ice, freezing rain, and dangerously cold temperatures from the South through the Midwest and into the Northeast this weekend.

Snowfall totals of 6–12+” are possible in many areas, with significant ice accumulations that could lead to tree damage, power outages, and hazardous travel conditions. Alerts and winter storm warnings already span dozens of states as crews pre-treat roads and communities prepare for disruption.

Storms like Fern highlight how critical proactive planning, clear communication, and coordinated response are before, during, and after a storm. From maintaining mobility and public safety to ensuring continuity of essential services, preparedness plays a key role in reducing risk and supporting recovery.

In our latest blog, Winter Storm Preparedness: Planning for Safety and Continuity, we share key considerations for agencies and organizations preparing for winter weather events—including operational readiness, interagency coordination, and post-storm improvement.

Under the FY2025 EDA Disaster Supplemental Grant Program, the Industry Transformation Path focuses on large-scale, coalition-driven initiatives that reimagine regional economies after disaster.

To be eligible, a project must be located in, primarily serve, or demonstrably benefit one or more communities that received a Major Disaster Declaration for events occurring in 2023 or 2024.

Industry Transformation projects contain a portfolio of 3 to 5 construction or non-construction grants generally ranging from $20 million to $50 million.

Apply by March 3rd, 2026!

The FY2025 EDA Disaster Supplemental Grant Program provides $1.45 billion to help disaster-impacted communities recover and strengthen local economies. The Readiness Path, one of its three key pathways, is designed to help communities lay the groundwork for long-term resilience.

This pathway can provide funding for non-construction activities, such as:

⚙️ Strategy Development
⚙️ Organizational Capacity Building
⚙️ Pre-Development Costs

The U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) has announced the availability of approximately $1.45 billion through its Disaster Supplemental Grant Program to support communities impacted by federally declared disasters in 2023 and 2024. This funding is intended to advance economic recovery, resilience, and long-term redevelopment efforts.

Eligible applicants include state and local governments, Economic Development Districts (EDDs), nonprofits, and institutions of higher education. The program is designed to support a range of activities, from planning and infrastructure investments to projects that strengthen local and regional economies.

The EDA Disaster NOFO establishes three funding pathways, each intended to address different recovery and redevelopment needs. We’ll be sharing additional insights on these pathways as part of an ongoing series.

Our team is readily available to assist organizations in identifying, developing, and managing Disaster Supplemental Grant Program projects. For communities evaluating this opportunity, we provide support from early project concept development through application and implementation.
