U.S. Home Builders Urge Congress to Focus on Disaster Preparedness
National Association of Home Builders | May 23, 2019
This week the National Association of Home Builders called on the U.S. Congress to focus on improving the older homes, structures and infrastructure that are less resilient to natural disasters because they were built when there were no national model codes in existence or constructed following codes that are now outdated. "Sound building codes are already in place in most communities and they are doing their job," said Randy Noel, NAHB immediate past chairman and a home builder and developer from LaPlace, La.
