Disaster Timelines

Disasters have consequences. Sometimes even legislative ones.

It is unfortunate, but the funding dried up for Disaster Time Lines about 12 years ago. 

These timelines show you the connection between different types of disasters and then the resultant legislation that was developed in response to events. 

It would be terrific if there was someone, some organization, that would pick up the funding for these and keep them moving forward. A large number of disasters, say the 2017 hurricane season, have happened with resultant ramifications.
