Project Impact, Building a Disaster Resistant Community, Three Primary Tenets
Project Impact, Building a Disaster Resistant Community, Three Primary Tenets :
"There are three primary tenets of the Project Impact initiative: (1) Mitigation is a local issue. It is best addressed through a local partnership involving government, business and private citizens. (2) Private sector participation is essential. Disasters threaten the economic and commercial growth of our cities, towns, villages and counties. Without the participation of the private sector, comprehensive solutions will not be developed. (3) Mitigation is a long-term effort that requires long-term investment. Disaster losses will not be eliminated overnight. (Witt, "Project Impact: Building a Disaster Resistant Community," Disaster Recovery Journal, Winter 1998)
