From Risk to Reward: New Research Finds Increased Payoff from Disaster Resilience Investments<\/b><\/p>\n

Resilience spending saves jobs and lives, cuts GDP losses and protects communities from higher economic costs when disasters strike<\/i><\/p>\n

WASHINGTON–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nAllstate, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation today released new research<\/a> showing that each dollar not invested in disaster resilience today could result in up to $33 of lost future economic activity. Higher levels of investment protect lives and property and reduce long-term costs for federal, state and local governments if a disaster strikes.<\/p>\n

Beyond the Payoff<\/i><\/a>: How Investments in Resilience and Disaster Preparedness Protect Communities <\/i>builds on the partners\u2019 2024 study, The Preparedness Payoff<\/i><\/a>.<\/i><\/p>\n

\nThe new research models the economic impacts of investment scenarios across five major disaster types and calculates impacts by disaster type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
