Research has shown us that the most opportune time for local government to implement a robust hazard mitigation program is immediately following a major natural disaster.

Select a natural disaster that has occurred anywhere in the world over the past decade and share which mitigation efforts immediately followed that particular disaster.
Use peer-reviewed journals and books to select and support your event.

What types of mutual aid agreements does your state or agency have in place and with whom?
