Then I was looking at other events and came across Duluth estimates $18.4 million in storm damage along Lake Superior, which is a paltry sum when comparing that dollar amount to the losses incurred in Florida and likely Texas. However, these "run of the mill" disasters do add up over time. And, as briefly noted in the article, these losses are recurring.
When we look at Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding, the risks and losses are being incurred on the natural hazard side of things. Does their budget allocation reflect that reality?
