We’ve all watched wildfires, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, and brutal heat devastate communities. Many people in at-risk communities remain unprepared.
​
More than 70% of those impacted by these events are not prepared or are underinsured.The results can be catastrophic, resulting in displacement, loss of property and even life. Recovery is difficult, costly, time-consuming and demoralizing.
The key findings of the FEMA National Preparedness Surveys of 2022 and 2023 are eye opening:
â–ª For higher risk areas, only 1/2 perceived their risk of being impacted.
â–ª Of those at risk of wildfire, 60% indicated they were not prepared.
â–ª Many acknowledge the risk but have not been exposed to what to do about it.
â–ª Cost barriers prevent many from taking important preparedness actions
