Lives can be saved, damage to property reduced and economic recovery from disaster accelerated by taking action BEFORE the disaster strikes.
FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) and other federal, state and municipal agencies responsible for disaster assistance are committed to reducing disaster losses. However, they cannot do it alone.
Project Impact, a FEMA initiative, seeks to change the way America and the City of Tempe deals with natural disasters. The goal of Project Impact is to reduce the personal and economic costs of disasters by bringing together community leaders, citizens and businesses to prepare for and protect themselves against the ravages of nature. This effort is an investment that will enhance and strengthen Tempe’s economic structure and long-term stability of the community, regardless of when disasters strike.
You can make a difference. As an individual – whether you are a business owner, a member of a civic or volunteer organization, acting on your own or as a government official – you can play an important part in keeping your family, business and community safe. By working together through Project Impact, there are steps we can all take to reduce our vulnerability and to transform our own community into a disaster resistant one.
FEMA estimates that for every dollar spent in damage prevention, two are saved in repairs.
To prepare and build a disaster resistant community, partnerships need to be formed between the City of Tempe, citizens and businesses. As community members, you need to understand Project Impact and its role.
