Retrofitting for Community Resilience John Ingargiola, Senior Engineer - FEMA Building Science Branch, Risk Reduction Division
FEMA Strategic Plan FY08-13 Promote development of national, consensus-based building
codes and standards, and encourage their adoption by governmental entities.
Provide technical assistance and public education on building techniques for the rebuilding and recovery process to reduce the potential for future loss of life and property.
Promote use of most appropriate and cost-effective building materials and practices (based on the hazards present in an area) to help encourage future construction of disaster-resistant buildings.
Ensure integration of sound building designs, construction standards, and up-to-date risk information into recovery process to mitigate against future disaster losses.

FEMA Grant Programs Why provide residential wind retrofit
guidance? Billions in damage continue to be
observed after hurricane events Large percentage of homes
constructed prior to the adoption of the I-codes
Studies identified gaps in knowledge
Validates the need for new guidance Less than 6% of all FEMA grant
funding going to wind retrofitting More than 75% of this funding has
been used for non-residential and critical facilities
From new Wind Retrofit Guide for Residential Buildings
Example Solution: Wind Retrofit Guide State-of-the-art guide for wind retrofit
Readily available solutions
Holistic solutions vs. individual (incomplete) projects
Uniform application of theory
Community-wide risk reduction
Better guidance leads to
More cost-effective projects
Less risk to built environment
Expert guidance on applying Benefit Cost Analysis to Wind Retrofit Projects
