A federal program has been reinstated to fund projects that enhance community resilience. The program, known as BRIC, supports initiatives that prepare for disasters such as fires, floods, and hurricanes.

This proactive approach can be cost-effective, as every dollar spent on preparation can save six dollars in potential damages.

Further information about the BRIC program and its goals can be found through the source, which provides details on the program's objectives and the types of projects it funds to make communities more resilient to disasters.
