Description

Challenge

Missed Opportunities to Rebuild for Greater Resilience. Post-disaster rebuilding often prioritizes rapid, like-for-like replacement over resilience upgrades due to cost constraints, program rules, and limited guidance. While rebuilt homes may meet current fire, water, and energy codes, restrictions on footprint and scale limit broader adaptation and neighborhood-level resilience, leaving communities vulnerable to future hazards.
