Mitigation Updates and announcement of BRIC Selection Results

Lots of moving pieces for mitigation! One of the most talked about pieces being the announcement of BRIC selections.  Oregon has two applications that were selected for further review.  The Mitigation Team is awaiting information on any changes and the announcement for BRIC 2021.  We will keep everyone informed as we learn of both BRIC and Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) notices of funding.  Please see below for updates and the announcement of BRIC selections.
