Court Orders FEMA to Reinstate Disaster Relief Funds for Multiple Projects
A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to reinstate disaster preparedness grants, including funding for microgrid projects in Washington and Oregon, after they were abruptly halted in 2025. These grants, part of FEMA's BRIC program, aim to help communities prepare for disasters like wildfires and earthquakes, and their reinstatement is seen as crucial for rural hospitals and communities' resilience. The decision has brought hope to project leaders, despite concerns about potential appeals.
