Nothing is disaster-proof, because disasters are by nature impossible to prevent.
Although disasters can t be entirely prevented, their consequences can be mitigated through careful planning. That s the premise behind a program launched in 1997 by the Federal Emergency Management Administration Project Impact. There is a tendency for Pueblo residents to look at what their northern neighbor is doing and then do the opposite, but it may not be a bad idea to resist that urge this time. In its 140-plus years of history, Pueblo has been reshaped several times by drought, flood and fire. But not all disasters are so destructive nor are all of them natural.
