Washington State Attorney General Nick Brown and a coalition of attorneys general from over twenty states have secured a significant victory against the Federal Emergency Management Agency. A federal judge ordered FEMA to reinstate the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities program, restoring billions in funding for disaster preparedness projects. This program, which has been running for thirty years, focuses on prevention to save lives, reduce injuries, protect homes, and avoid costly post-disaster repairs. Brown emphasized the urgent need for these funds in Washington communities and vowed to continue advocating for FEMA to follow Congresss original plan without further delays. The legal battle began last July and concluded with a court order on March sixth, mandating FEMA to release funds, update states on projects, file progress reports, and issue a fiscal year 2024 funding notice within twenty-one days.
