Definición

  • Disaster-resistant housing refers to housing units where design and construction decisions (also known as mitigation measures) result in a building's ability to resist the forces associated with major environmental hazards. While multiple hazards affect housing, those typically associated with disasters include earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, severe winter weather, and wildland and urban fires.
