Recommended Retrofits by Disaster

Hurricanes, tornadoes and wildfires – oh my!

It's hard to deny that recent weather patterns in North America have posed some major challenges to homes and communities. In response, the new free Buyer's Guide to Resilient Homes provides a framework for homebuyers, homeowners, and even renters to see how they can protect their homes against these types of perils.

This free comprehensive guide offers resilience and disaster-preparedness checklists for people to include in their home search process, questions you can ask your realtor, things you can do to your current home to make it disaster-resilient, etc.

The Buyer's Guide to Resilient Homes is published by FLASH (Federal Alliance for Safe Homes), a disaster-preparedness organization that has spent the last 20+ years working in the background to help people prepare their homes for perils like hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, etc. in an effort to save their homes and lives.
