An analysis of FEMA natural hazard mitigation grants indicates that for every dollar spent on mitigation, society saves an average of $4 in avoided post-disaster relief costs. These benefits are multiplied when FEMA monies are utilized to institutionalize mitigation in communities, engendering additional non-federally funded mitigation activities.
