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.
