2007-2008 Program Sheet

About the Program
Today in the United States we spend tens of billions of dollars each year to rebuild communities after disaster–natural, technological, and intentional. Future prospects are sobering. Continued U.S. population growth, increased urbanization and concentration in hazard-prone coastal areas, accelerated deterioration of the urban infrastructure, and emerging, but unknown, new vulnerabilities posed by technological advances virtually guarantee that economic losses from natural hazards will continue to rise through the early part of the coming century. We need, now more than ever, a new generation of more professional, skilled, diverse, and better educated emergency managers, emergency services personnel, public health workers, and others, in both the public and private sectors, in order to better face the challenges facing the nation.
