Basics
- Buildings that are "disaster proof" to a certain extent
- Main issues are:
- High Wind (Hurricanes + Tornadoes)
- Flooding (Floods, Hurricanes)
- Fire (Internal, or caused via external fires (other buildings, wildfires) )
- Lightning Strikes
- Pests (Termites, Carpenter Ants/Wasps, etc)
- Flying Debris (Even strong storms can throw debris and break windows etc
Current State
- Varies with Building Codes , and culture, but many USA homes are wood framing, on ground level, and thus are vunerable to many of the aforementioned hazards
Hard Data
- Need some
Retrofittable Options
Design Principles
- Elevated foundation (for floods many houses are on "stilts" or the first ground floor is garage/storage only
- External Window Shutters
- Less "Flat" / "Square Design" (more aerodynamic/less drag = less likely to be destroyed by wind
- Various fireproofing measures
Trashcan for Info Sources
