Disasters. A Change is needed to force the issue.

Disasters.  Community Survival.  A change in tactics on an international scale. 

Follow the money.

Can a community, county, State within the U.S., and Nations of the world be persuaded or even forced indirectly to invest heavily in disaster\crisis\emergency management local,  national, and regional emergency management agencies as a substantial portion of its’s BOND rating, IMF, and even World Bank lending policies?

Oh, we have SDG, and resiliency building worldwide programs.  But are they effective for the grass-roots level communities of the world? 

Time to grade them.  Not just by current standards of management, but an even greater more effective means, financial ability to obtain money for private sector investments.
