(d la) announced that he will lead the bipartisan flood resilience caucus for the 119th congress. joining him as co chairs are reps. lizzie fletcher (d tx), randy weber (r tx), and congressman mike ezell (r ms).
Q A Building Resilient Infrastructure Starts With Flood Models The federal emergency management agency (fema) today published the funding opportunity for the fiscal years 2024 and 2025 building resilient infrastructure and communities (bric) program. through this funding opportunity, fema is making $1 billion in federal funding available to states, local governments, territories and tribal nations, empowering them to take decisive, proactive steps to. Further, the purpose of the regional conservation partnership program (rcpp) is amended to include the prevention and mitigation of the effects of flooding and drought and the improvement or expansion of flood resiliency.
