A Guide to Natural Disasters 2004

The Cape Cod Commission funded this publication through its Project 
Impact Cape Cod program grant. Project Impact is a national program 
funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and established to 
empower communities to address disaster resistance and hazard mitigation 
at the regional and local levels. Through Project Impact FEMA challenged 
the nation to undertake actions to protect families, businesses, and 
communities by reducing the effects of natural disasters.

The 32-page document (see Table of Contents, below) is available as a 
PDF file online 
(http://www.capecodcommission.org/projectimpact/handbook.htm) and is 
also being distributed in each Cape Cod community through fire stations, 
police stations, libraries, and town halls.
