To my mind, the best investment we can make isn't just on Wall Street, it's to invest in disaster prevention. It outperforms Wall Street hands down, and at the same time, it pays dividends that you can't calculate in dollars and cents. It saves lives. It saves suffering. It saves loss of property.
Prevention saves jobs.
Bottom line, prevention works. And it's never been more important. There have been more than 200 Presidentially declared disasters in the last five years. No state has been spared. Project Impact isn't a government program, it's a partnership - not just with FEMA, but with partners throughout business, local government, law enforcement, medical personnel, fire services and on down the line.
