Reported byYale Climate Connections ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
The federal BRIC program (Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities) was reinstated by court order in March 2026 after the Trump administration attempted to cancel it. A 2019 analysis showed every dollar spent on disaster-resiliency grants saves six dollars in costs.
The cost-benefit analysis is from 2019; specific 2026 BRIC outcomes are not detailed in the article.
