Grant Overview
Priority Outcomes for Nebraska's FY 2022 FEMA BRIC & FMA Mitigation Grants
The Nebraska Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) plays a crucial role in administering the FY 2022 FEMA BRIC & FMA mitigation grants. As the state agency responsible for coordinating disaster response and recovery efforts, NEMA is well-positioned to identify priority outcomes for Nebraska's mitigation grants. The state's geographic features, including its location in the Great Plains and its extensive river systems, make it prone to various natural disasters such as floods, tornadoes, and droughts.
Reducing Flood Risk in Nebraska's Riverine Communities
One of the primary priority outcomes for Nebraska's FY 2022 FEMA BRIC & FMA mitigation grants is reducing flood risk in the state's riverine communities. Nebraska's rivers, including the Missouri and Platte rivers, are vital to the state's economy and ecosystem. However, they also pose a significant flood risk to surrounding communities. To mitigate this risk, the grant will focus on projects that enhance flood resilience, such as flood-control infrastructure, wetland restoration, and floodplain management. For instance, grants for nonprofits in Nebraska may be used to support flood mitigation efforts in rural areas, where resources are often limited.
Enhancing Disaster Resilience in Nebraska's Rural Areas
Another key priority outcome is enhancing disaster resilience in Nebraska's rural areas. The state's rural communities often face unique challenges in responding to and recovering from disasters due to limited resources and infrastructure. To address this, the grant will prioritize projects that improve disaster preparedness and response in rural areas, such as emergency shelter upgrades, communication infrastructure enhancements, and disaster risk reduction education. The Nebraska Community Foundation, a nonprofit organization that supports community development initiatives across the state, may be eligible for funding to support these efforts.
Supporting Climate-Resilient Infrastructure in Nebraska
The FY 2022 FEMA BRIC & FMA mitigation grants will also prioritize projects that support climate-resilient infrastructure in Nebraska. As the state faces increasing climate-related risks, such as more frequent and intense flooding, it is essential to invest in infrastructure that can withstand these challenges. This may include projects that incorporate green infrastructure, such as green roofs and permeable pavements, as well as those that enhance the resilience of critical infrastructure, such as roads, bridges, and utilities. Nebraska state grants may be used to support these efforts, particularly in areas with high climate-related vulnerability.
In addition to these priority outcomes, the grant will also consider projects that address the needs of Nebraska's arts and humanities communities. For example, the Nebraska Arts Council and Humanities Nebraska may be eligible for funding to support projects that promote cultural resilience and recovery in the face of disasters.

A: Eligible projects may include flood-control infrastructure, wetland restoration, floodplain management, emergency shelter upgrades, communication infrastructure enhancements, and disaster risk reduction education, among others.
Q: How can Nebraska nonprofits apply for funding under the FY 2022 FEMA BRIC & FMA mitigation grants? A: Nebraska nonprofits can apply for funding by submitting a proposal through the Nebraska Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), which will review and prioritize projects based on the state's priority outcomes.
Q: What is the expected timeline for the FY 2022 FEMA BRIC & FMA mitigation grant awards in Nebraska? A: The expected timeline for grant awards will be determined by FEMA and NEMA, and will be communicated to applicants through the grant application portal.
