In particular, it encourages local governments to adopt building codes\u00a0and to provide the human, technical, and financial resources necessary to support permitting, plan review, and inspections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA holistic approach to identifying and incorporating resilience measures into a community\u2019s building stock, including the adoption of the latest building codes, supports the mitigation of damage from natural disasters and increases the overall resiliency of our communities,\u201d said Ryan Colker, ANCR executive director. \u201cThese benchmarks provide a standard for local and state governments to follow and ensuring they are well prepared for the next disaster.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Several state and local government officials contributed to the development of the resilience benchmarks, including representatives from the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD), and the New York City Department of Buildings. Representatives from across the building industry, including designers, manufacturers, trade groups, and nonprofits, were also involved in the project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier this month, the International Code Council (ICC) and the Alliance for National and Community Resilience (ANCR) released a pilot document on community resilience benchmarks for buildings.
