Bill Summary

This measure would urge the President of the United States and the Congress of the United States to immediately restore full funding for Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities program projects.

AI Summary

This resolution urges the President and Congress to restore full funding for the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program, a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grant initiative that supports state, territorial, tribal, and local governments in reducing natural hazard risks. The resolution highlights that FEMA announced on April 4, 2025, it would be ending the BRIC program and canceling all applications from fiscal years 2020-2023, which would result in the loss of approximately $870 million in critical hazard mitigation projects in California. These projects include wildfire mitigation, seismic retrofitting, water infrastructure protection, flood adaptation, and climate resilience initiatives across various California counties and cities. The resolution emphasizes that cutting funding for these already-underway projects will increase disaster risks for families and businesses, potentially causing long-term economic and safety consequences. By requesting the restoration of BRIC program funding, the resolution aims to support continued investment in pre-disaster mitigation strategies that can reduce future disaster costs and save lives. The resolution also instructs the Chief Clerk of the Assembly to distribute copies of this resolution to key federal government officials.
