While I can't speak directly to any budgetary allocations, what we do know from multiple studies is that for every dollar invested in mitigation and preparedness activities, we save six to eight on response and an additional twelve on recovery after a disaster, so if we're looking at a 20:1 return on investment, then focusing on mitigation measures is absolutely essential.
Focusing on the preparedness side—training, building plans, coordination and building out those mechanisms—is also going to be the most cost-effective use of our resources.
