Project Impact

Seattle Project Impact is a public-private partnership whose overall goal is to make our communities more resistant to the damaging effects of disasters. The Project encourages people to take action before a disaster occurs through initiatives promoting safer homes, schools, businesses, and better earthquake and landslide hazard mapping.

Initial funding for Seattle Project Impact was through a grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to the City of Seattle Emergency Management. Because the Project's benefits are compelling in both human and economic terms, the City of Seattle has institutionalized Seattle Project Impact and we are committed to continuing these efforts well into the future. Seattle Project Impact is proud to share our programs with other communities facing the same risks and to assist when needed.
