Our Project Impact initiative, <br />developed by FEMA Director James Lee Witt, seeks to focus the energy of businesses, citizens, and <br />communities in the United States on the importance of reducing their susceptibility to the impact of all <br />natural disasters, including floods, hurricanes, severe storms, earthquakes, and wildfires, Natural hazard <br />mitigation is most effective when it is planned for and implemented at the local level, by the entities who <br />are most knowledgeable of local conditions and whose economic stability and safety are at stake. For your <br />information, we are enclosing a Project Impact Fact Sheet. For additional information on Project Impact, <br />please visit our Web site at www.fema.gov, <br />
