When does society plan and invest into resources for the next disaster?

It comes in the form of storms
It comes in the process we run
It comes in the accidents that happen
It comes in the lesson not learned
The media spot light bring action to resolution
Once this attention fade from the public view
We forget that it ever occurred
Why fix something that cost us money?
What concern me are actions not taken?
After the event has caused damage
Do we just pack and run?
Fixing the disaster should be our goal

Mad cow disease, nuclear power, oil platform operation mistakes, and global warming
They all once shared in the news highlights
Our attention to the issues blows like leaves in the wind
Fixing the disaster is a want but a need

Just look for those things not in the news
The freight train incident due to maintenance or cargo problems
To the chemical in our drinking water
Just remember there is no need to fix a disaster that has not occurred
Fixing the next disaster is an ability that we earn
