Description

Think of a community struck by a disaster - be it a tornado, flood, hurricane, earthquake, explosion, or other event. Recall the scenes of destruction and devastation that have become all too common, on the nightly news. Now imagine a recovered community that is ultimately safer, stronger, and more sustainable than it was before the disaster. Or consider a community that recognizes its vulnerability before a disaster occurs and has the foresight to plan ahead and take action to reduce the impacts of hazards, including possible injury, loss of life, and damages sustained to our homes, businesses, and neighborhoods.
