Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities for All Act of 2025

Key Points

• This bill changes how federal predisaster hazard mitigation money flows to states. Instead of a competitive grant process, every eligible state would receive a guaranteed share of funding through a direct allocation formula.
• The new formula splits available funds into three equal parts: one-third divided evenly among all eligible states, one-third weighted by population using the most recent census, and one-third based on how vulnerable a state's critical infrastructure is to natural hazards.
• Indian tribal governments would be guaranteed at least $75 million in total funding for predisaster hazard mitigation, creating a dedicated funding floor for tribal communities to protect their land and people.
• States must pass at least half of their funding directly to local governments carrying out recommended projects, ensuring money reaches the communities where it is most needed.
• Getting money from this predisaster program would no longer disqualify a project from also receiving post-disaster hazard mitigation funding under Section 404, and vice versa. This lets communities layer both types of help on the same project.
