I applaud any effort that advances the cause of disaster readiness among our general population. If every state did what California is doing by putting $50M toward this effort, we could make some real progress. Let's just recognize how far $50M goes in California. With a population exceeding 39.5M, the $50M provides for $1.26 of effort per person. Compared to "nothing," zip, zilch, nada, it can make a difference, but it is stretching the dollars.
In a similar vein, the $10M being allocated "nationally" for catastrophic planning for either housing or supply chain projects is a pittance — remembering that 100 urban communities are eligible to compete for the funding. Food fight!
