Adopting Disaster Resilient Construction at the Local Level

Hosted by the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA), this conference will be held in Lake Mary, Florida on February 28, 2013.

"Join us for an informative one-day workshop to integrate resilience planning into your essential services and infrastructure needs. Over the past few decades, there was an exponential increase in human and material losses from disaster events. 2011 was a record-setting year for loss of life and property in virtually every part of the county and 2012 has already produced another set of tragic, record-setting convective storms and wildfires. While the green building movement has traditionally focused on the environmental aspects of buildings, communities are now addressing the need for resilience while rebuilding to meet the challenge of the next natural or man-made disaster."
