What is Project Impact?
In just over one year, Project Impact has grown from seven pilot communities in seven states to an average of two communities in every state. The addition of these new communities brings the total number of Project Impact communities to 117.
What we are witnessing here is an outstanding growth rate that can be credited to a rising interest among individuals, businesses and communities in becoming disaster resistant.
In each new community, a local partnership of government leaders, representatives of the business sector and individuals will provide funding, in-kind services, technical support and labor to undertake disaster-resistant activities. In addition, FEMA will provide technical support and funds to states to provide administrative support to the initiative.
Natural disasters cost this country too much in dollars, infrastructure loss, and in sense of emotional and community well-being. We are putting an end to the damage, repair, damage and repair cycle. Project Impact is changing the way America deals with disasters.
