Resilience

Sound Science and Creative Solutions to rebuild stronger.

In response to the ever-increasing costs of disaster recovery, there is a strong call to establish resilient communities that can withstand future risks. Accompanying this call are increased funding programs from the federal government, particularly the Federal Emergency Management Agency Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (FEMA BRIC) and Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant Mitigation (HUD CDBG-MIT) grants. These, along with multiple smaller state and federal agency programs, are focused specifically on resilience projects with the intention to mitigate the losses to life and infrastructure from future natural disasters.
