$1 spent on disaster prep saves ~$6 in recovery costs, per FEMA data.
A 2019 National Institute of Building Sciences study found federally-funded mitigation grants return ~$6 for every $1 invested — making pre-storm preparation one of government's best financial investments.
Hurricane Isaias caused ~$4.7 billion in total damages in 2020.
Isaias struck the Bahamas and U.S. East Coast in August 2020. Beyond 600,000+ power outages, insurers faced massive claims from wind and flood damage stretching from the Carolinas to New England.
