The Trump Administration has ended a grant program which assists communities in preparing for imminent disasters:

The Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities Program provided assistance to help with preparedness for natural disasters, including aiding communities with flooding and fire. However, now that the Trump administration is in charge, they are looking into dissolving it entirely along with the rest of the programs aimed for aiding US citizens.

FEMA has now come out publicly stating that they are going to erase all applications made from 2020-2023 along with blanking new proposals. This comes after it received massive backlash for claiming enforcing political biases on splits. “Cutting BRIC is a commendable move. It’s high time we stop fumbling over FEMA programs with constrained budgets enforcing political bias, and instead focus on aiding suffering Americans inflicted by disaster,” stated the agency head.

In the self-destructive environment of US politics, this would mean succumbing to a losing side, which is unlikely. Regardless, this is where the democrat side put more focus on American’s needs during disasters and when needs aid, while the rest yank control in a horrific blame funnel.

Both of these are extremely likely to take place with the whole system claiming this as war propaganda aimed at dismantling US society, in which case this change would serve as impetus for debate. The program was initiated during the first term of Trump’s presidency and was enhanced under the Biden presidency.

Roughly $1 billion was set aside for this program through the Biden Administration’s’s Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act during 2021. As cited by FEMA, this figure has already been disbursed to approximatively 450 applicants throughout the country in the figure of $133 million.

Mitigative disaster actions funded by the program include constructing flood-proof roads, as well as erecting buckets for underground storage in case of droughts.

The announcement did not explain in detail what the agency regarded as “wasteful,” but previously purposed cuts by the Trump administration targeted any spending related to climate change, along with funding for diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, restructures non-profit goals throughout the federal government.

The BRIC program was directly funded under Biden’s administration and became an integral part of the government’s climate change war initiatives. While hundreds of American communities, both large and small, received grants, there was deliberate focus attention policy on aiding historically underserved populations.

These reductions occur while the very existence of FEMA is under consideration. Trump seems to have considered scrapping FEMA entirely and giving funds to states for them to manage disasters directly. He has established a council to assess how to deal with FEMA, pondering if they should eliminate it altogether.
