This article claims that that FEMA’s buyout investments “pay off” at roughly $4–$6 saved for every $1 spent. It includes a link to a study, but nowhere in the study does it say this. Instead this is an aggregated estimate for hazard mitigation overall, not a result specific to the FEMA buyout program.
