Our comprehensive and programmatic solutions are executed by knowledgeable staff who have developed plans for some of our nation’s largest communities. We are a team of experts who have implemented billions of dollars in pre- and post-disaster mitigation projects. Our innovations focus on meaningful mitigation processes and outcomes while easing the burden in developing, maintaining, and implementing your community’s mitigation investments.
Why Does Hazard Mitigation Matter To Your Community?
Disasters will always happen. However, communities and organizations can take steps to mitigate those disasters and reduce their impacts. FEMA’s hazard mitigation assistance provides funding for eligible mitigation measures that reduce disaster losses. Hazard mitigation is any sustainable action that reduces or eliminates long-term risk to people and property from future disasters.
The Stafford Act legally requires state, local, tribal, and territorial governments to develop and adopt FEMA-approved hazard mitigation plans as a condition for receiving certain types of non-emergency disaster assistance.
Hazard mitigation plans are key to breaking the cycle of disaster damage, reconstruction, and repeated damage.
What Is FEMA’s BRIC Program?
Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities will support states, local communities, tribes, and territories as they undertake hazard mitigation projects that reduce the risks they face from disasters and natural hazards. BRIC is a new FEMA pre-disaster hazard mitigation program that replaces the existing Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) program.

ISC’S MITIGATION METHODOLOGY & EXPERTISE
There is a growing challenge for communities of all sizes to regularly update, maintain, and implement their hazard mitigation plans. However, according to FEMA, over half of the nation’s municipal and county mitigation plans have fallen out of compliance and many communities struggle to implement key mitigation initiatives. As a result, communities have wasted the initial investment to develop mitigation plans and find themselves spending the same effort, if not more, in developing a new, compliant plan and be eligible for pre- and post-disaster funding.
ISC’s core preparedness philosophy takes a holistic approach to crisis management, prevention, and recovery. We craft an interconnected strategy of planning, training, and crisis response to ensure a community’s needs are met in totality.
