Resiliency plans, policies and programs — existing as well as those under development — will significantly impact how and where new homes and communities are built. They will also greatly influence how existing structures and cities are re-engineered, rebuilt and/or remodeled.

Recognizing the cross-cutting nature of these efforts, the NAHB convened a working group on resiliency in 2015 to lead a comprehensive and coordinated approach to policy and advocacy work within the association.
