15. 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.

20. 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
21. 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
