When it comes to protecting your home against flood, Mitigation Saves homeowners time and money.

This was the crux of a recent panel presentation that I participated in, during the Strengthening Coastal Counties Resilience Workshop in South Padre Island, Texas. The workshop was arranged by the National Association of Counties (NACo), with funding from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), as part of a project to help counties think through how to improve resilience.

Building professionals and officials from across the industry met virtually to close out the second day of Building Innovation 2020 on August 19.

The National Institute of Building Sciences received more than 1,000 registrants to the annual meeting, hosting representatives from 45 countries worldwide.

Day 2 of the meeting kicked offwith Billie Faircloth, partner with KieranTimberlake, whose opening Resilience keynote, How We See Now, covered adaptive architecture, building types, design strategies, and several case studies.
