Climate change has led to greater need for structures to be resilient to natural disasters. Weather related emergencies are becoming more commonplace. Weather related disasters can cause extensive damage to property and human life.
These changing weather conditions require new methods of construction that are more resilient. Building codes have changed that require more resilient structures. Buildings must be more resilient than in the past. Past weather patterns can no longer be used to predict future building needs.
Resilient construction practices will result in buildings that are better able to withstand future natural disasters or other disruptive events. More than durability is involved in resilient construction. Resilient construction allows buildings to be able to continue to function during adverse conditions. This can be especially crucial for hospitals, fire stations, police stations and other critical facilities.
Change in resilient construction practices must begin now. A dedicated effort is necessary with cooperation among the various sectors of the construction industry. Builders must design and construct structures that do more than meet the minimum standards. They must begin building resilient structures that can withstand and thrive in extreme conditions.
