| Why Partnerships?
Natural disasters permeate every corner of our communities. No individual, business, or organization is left untouched. If Charleston or Mattoon were to suffer the hardship of a natural disaster, everyone would need to pull together to recover. This partnership is inherent in any community's struggle to address the consequences of earthquakes, floods, severe thunderstorms, or fires. When carrying out an agenda of mitigation, this same partnership will be cental to our long-term success. Likely Partners In helping Charleston or Mattoon to protect itself against natural disasters, we will be most effective if we draw upon the experiences, resources, and policies already in place within either community. The challenge is to bring together all of these elements under one roof to reduce redundancy, identify weaknesses and strengths, and ensure the most effective effort. Charleston and Mattoon have developed the Project Impact Committee composed of local officials, business professionals, and other stakeholders to help promote the safety and economic stability of our communities in the future. This cooperative collaboration will help determine the best outcomes in disaster resistance initiatives. Charleston/Mattoon Partners The Cities of Charleston and Mattoon, through Project Impact, have built relationships with many community businesses and non-profit organizations. The following is a list of those partners.
