The Insitute's work to reduce the loss of life and property damage caused by severe weather and earthquakes is based on these operating principles:
- The threat of severe weather and earthquakes is increasing; nevertheless, sustained action can reduce catastrophic losses.
- Hazard assessment and risk identification are cornerstones of catastrophic loss mitigation.
- Solid, applied research provides an essential foundation for effective action to reduce future losses.
- Communication with the public before a peril strikes is an important means of reducing losses.
- Local and individual actions are the most effective means of reducing the loss of life and property.
- Those who knowingly choose to assume greater risk must accept an increased degree of responsibility for their choice.
- Partnership is the best approach to resolving shared problems, particularly public safety concerns.
