BRIC: Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities — CFDA 97.047

BRIC dollars on 206 award records

Assistance listing 97.047 is titled BRIC: BUILDING RESILIENT INFRASTRUCTURE AND COMMUNITIES in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $906,206,316.22. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not an outlay. Treating $906.2M as mitigation already built mixes two series. SpendingVault keeps the label as obligations.

206 awards sit under that dollar book. Dividing $906,206,316.22 by 206 produces a mean near $4.40 million per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical mitigation-project bid and not a cost per flood event avoided. BRIC dollars often sit on a modest number of large capital and planning actions, which is why 206 records can carry $906.2M.

103 recipients across 56 states

CFDA 97.047 lists 103 recipients and 56 states against 206 awards. Recipient count is not unique households in hazard zones. It is how many organizational recipients the assistance extract stores for this listing. A state emergency-management agency or local government can appear on more than one award; 103 is not a census of levees. The 56-state span is a coded-jurisdiction count, not a map of every floodplain project.

206 awards against 103 recipients averages two award records per recipient. Extra modifications can lift the 206 tally without moving $906,206,316.22 much. The BRIC hub keeps dollars, awards, recipients, and states visible so one statistic is not inferred from another.

Obligations versus mitigation outlays

USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $906,206,316.22 figure for CFDA 97.047 can include multi-year construction commitments that will disburse later. A hazard-mitigation plan, a disaster-declaration file, and a Treasury outlay series are different publications. This page does not translate the obligation total into those series.

If a number you expected is missing, the usual cause is a different reporting concept. Start from the obligation definition, then open the 97.047 program page. Do not stretch 206 awards or 103 recipients to cover every federal dollar that touches pre-disaster mitigation.

What the 97.047 tables omit

The BRIC hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a flood-map archive, not a loss-avoidance calculator, and not a disaster-survivor roster. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $906,206,316.22. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 206 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 56 states is a coding field. A statewide grantee coded to one cell can dominate geography while projects sit in many counties. Read the program page before any state split.

How to cite CFDA 97.047

A complete citation is $906,206,316.22 in obligations for CFDA 97.047, covering 206 awards, 103 recipients, and 56 states, drawn from USAspending.gov assistance awards on SpendingVault. Name the series as obligations. If the question is how many mitigation grantees appear, lead with 103 recipients and 206 awards, then the $906.2M total.

Start with the BRIC: Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities program page, then the all-programs index. Agency pages show awarding organizations; they do not replace this listing’s obligation total. Nothing here is a construction specification or insurance advice.

A worked reading of the 97.047 extract

Start from the four packet facts: $906,206,316.22, 206 awards, 103 recipients, and 56 states under CFDA 97.047. The mean near $4.40 million is a quotient from a modest award count, not a typical mitigation contract. If a later USAspending.gov file adds large capital actions, dollars can jump while 103 recipients barely move. If modifications proliferate, 206 can rise while the dollar book stays close to $906.2M.

Nothing in the extract splits flood from wildfire, or planning from construction. Those cuts live outside this packet. Treat CFDA 97.047 as an assistance-listing tag on USAspending.gov award files. Open the program page, then the all-programs index, for a same-series ranking. Cite 206 awards and 103 recipients next to the dollars so the grantee set is visible.
