Hazard-Resistant Building Code Database
Is your home strengthened against a natural disaster?
Your first line of defense against an earthquake, fire, flood, or extreme weather are the walls and roof of your home. The strength of your home depends largely on the contractor who built it and the standards that the contractor used. Each state sets minimum quality standards that contractors and builders must follow.
To find out how strong your home likely is, the Northeast States Emergency Consortium (NESEC) has assembled information on the existence and enforcement of earthquake, wind, and fire building safety codes in your community.
