FEMA BRIC eliminated - notice coming tomorrow

Apparently it was an AF1 decision, but it’s not a RIF and nothing is known about timelines.

The grant program is eliminated? Or the technical assistance staff will be RIFed?

BRIC DTA had already been eliminated (Direct Technical Assistance before someone @ 's me for using an acronym.)

They don't care about small communities and not having to continuously rebuild.
