National Institute of Building Sciences and Fannie Mae Publish Disaster Mitigation Plan
The Resilience Incentivization Road Map was unveiled at NIBS’ annual meeting in Washington, DC
The National Institute of Building Sciences and Fannie Mae have developed the Resilience Incentivization Road Map 2.0 on mitigation investment to help people in America prepare for and respond to natural disasters.
As disasters grow more frequent and destructive, preparing our infrastructure and communities for extreme weather is critical to protect lives and reduce economic losses. On a national average, natural hazard mitigation saves $4 to $11 in avoided future losses for each $1 invested, as found by the NIBS Natural Hazard Mitigation Saves study.
