Protecting Communities and Saving Money

One of the most cost-effective ways to safeguard our communities against natural disasters is to adopt and follow hazard-resistant building codes. Not only are casualties reduced, but the cost of building damage is also reduced during a natural disaster. Building codes also help communities get back on their feet faster by minimizing indirect costs such as business interruptions and lost income.

A new FEMA study has made the impact of building codes on sustainability clear. The cost of not adopting building codes is too high.
