12.00pm - IFSMA Annual Meeting

All members and non-members are welcome to join the board as we share some updates from the last year and announce the newly elected board members.


12.20pm - Webinar - Introduction to Building Codes and Technical Evaluation Criteria

This session will introduce Iowa communities to FEMA’s Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) Technical Evaluation Criteria specific to the building codes category. If you are interested in pursuing BRIC as a project funding opportunity, becoming familiar with the evaluation criteria is an important part of scoping your project(s). There are five evaluation criteria categories including infrastructure project (15 points), nature-based solutions or structural seismic activity for hazard mitigation (5 or 15 points), building code adoption and enforcement requirements (5-20 points), scoping award or past recipient of BRIC DTA (10 points), and designation as a Federally Recognized Tribal Government or subapplication within or primarily benefits a disadvantaged community (30 or 40 points). We will cover the 5-20 points available under the building code evaluation criteria (including floodplain management) and resources to support your community’s goals.

This informational session is presented by Melissa Mitchell, CFM, Tetra Tech, and in partnership with the Iowa Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, State Hazard Mitigation Officer.


This event is pre-approved for 0.5 CEC.
