RICHMOND – The Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VDEM) announced today the receipt of hazard mitigation assistance (HMA) funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). These awards were received under the following grant programs: Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) and the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP).
VDEM administers these federal funds on behalf of FEMA. The state does not provide matching funds for the BRIC grants which are nationally competitive grant programs but does contribute a state cost share for the HMGP grant projects.
