Ever wonder why there are very few comments on articles like this one? My experience is that disaster awareness and preparation are only popular with disaster victims. The problem with that, is that it is too late for preparation at that time. So, how do we make disaster awareness popular. How do we create the illusive "Culture of Preparedness", the feds have tried to create for decades? We do it by involving the general public. But what's in it for them? 'Equity'. Preparation is conditioning real property for mitigation. And that is The Building Industry, primarily. Think about that while you watch this 12 minute video on 'A National Disaster Awareness Program'.
