Looking for free building-vulnerability assessment tools? The Dept. of Homeland Security's web pages offer plenty. Details on federal resilient-building initiatives can be found on FEMA's website. For those seeking post-Superstorm Sandy advice from insurers or architects, websites such as disastersafety.org and postsandyinitiative.org offer up plenty of material to download.
Anyone doing a web search using keywords such as BOMA NY, ASCE/SEI, NIST, NIBS, AIA, ASHRAE, ICC or NFPA will discover thousands of results on almost any subject related to resilient buildings. Scores of posted reports, advisories and guides on adapting buildings and communities to extreme natural hazards—hurricanes, high winds, floods, storm surges and wildfires at the urban edges—are available to anyone after just a few clicks. But web searches on the implementation of these resiliency methods yield far less.
