Announcements
On March 26, 2026, FEMA released a new Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the re started BRIC program, combining the previously halted FY24 round with a new FY25 round. The NOFO introduces several significant changes that affect both previously prepared FY24 subapplications and newly developed submissions.
Washington Emergency Management Division’s (EMD) highest priority for this round is to ensure that previously prepared FY24 BRIC sub applications can revise and resubmit their packages, given that FEMA halted the earlier round. EMD’s next priority—and the focus of this announcement—is to support the consideration, development, and submission of new project subapplications that meet the eligibility and competitive criteria outlined below. EMD is the designated state administrator for the BRIC program and oversees the application process for all eligible entities within Washington state.
