Colorado Hazard Mitigation Plan Updates

The Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management mitigation planning team had a busy summer.  Several counties and local jurisdictions completed their Hazard Mitigation Plan updates and received FEMA approval.

Mitigation Grant Announcement for BRIC and FMA 2022

Colorado communities once again have the opportunity to reduce their long-term risks from natural hazards with assistance from FEMA’s two annual competitive Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) programs: Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) and Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA).
