IBHS reviewed the progress of the 18 most hurricane-prone states along the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Coast in strengthening their residential building codes.<\/p>\n<p>The <a title=\"Building Codes: Rating the States\" href=\"http:\/\/www.disastersafety.org\/building_codes\/rating-the-states_ibhs\" target=\"_blank\">report<\/a> reassessed states according to whether they have taken positive, negative, or no action to improve codes. It found many of those with strong building code systems in place have made their updates to the most recent model codes and, in some cases, passed legislation to further strengthen protections.<\/p>\n<p>Florida was called a \u201cleader in building code safety,\u201d with IBHS citing the state\u2019s progress in adopting the 2012 editions of the <i>International Building Code<\/i> (<i>IBC<\/i>) and <i>International Residential Code<\/i> (<i>IRC<\/i>) with region-specific amendments as the 2013 <i>Florida Building Code<\/i> (<i>FBC<\/i>). (The projected effective date is March 2014.)<\/p>\n<p>However, the report said North Carolina has taken legislative and regulatory actions to weaken its code requirements. In 2012, the state passed a law lengthening the adoption cycle of code changes from three to six years. IBHS argues the same legislation weakens local enforcement of the code, while separate action by the North Carolina Building Code Commission will weaken wall bracing provisions in coastal hurricane-prone regions<\/p>\n<p>Louisiana was criticized for taking \u201ca step backward\u201d with the State Code Council\u2019s approval of an Emergency Declaration adopting the 2012 <i>IBC<\/i> and <i>IRC<\/i> design wind speed maps, but not the new trigger for following high-wind design requirements. The report said this has resulted in a \u201cdeficiency in protecting residential dwellings in areas subject to high winds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other states\u2014such as Mississippi, which has virtually no statewide regulatory process in place for building codes\u2014were also highlighted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the residential building code, there are certain provisions requiring work by design professionals like licensed architects and professional engineers,\u201d IBHS codes and standards manager Si Farvardin told <em>The Construction Specifier<\/em>. \u201cTherefore it is important for these professionals to know what building codes are in effect in each state, and how the code enforcement program works in the jurisdiction. It is equally important for designers, builders, and remodelers to know what residential codes are in effect in different states. The more recent editions of the residential code have more enhanced requirements in many areas of construction, including wind, seismic, fire, energy, and building products requirements, making it necessary to know these requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_509\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-509\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/rating-the-states-midterm-chart-2013.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-509 \" src=\"http:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/rating-the-states-midterm-chart-2013-300x281.jpg\" alt=\"rating-the-states-midterm-chart-2013\" width=\"300\" height=\"281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/rating-the-states-midterm-chart-2013-300x281.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/rating-the-states-midterm-chart-2013-1024x959.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/rating-the-states-midterm-chart-2013-624x584.jpg 624w, https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/rating-the-states-midterm-chart-2013.jpg 1093w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-509\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Images courtesy Insurance Institute for Business &amp;
