“Disaster Mitigation for Residential Construction” was funded by the Portland Cement Association and FEMA, with input from the Institute for Business & Home Safety, and was developed with support of the National Home Builders Association’s National Home Builders Institute (HBI), which deals with materials designed to better protect against natural hazards.
Course topics included proper installation techniques and product options relating to foundation systems, above-grade walls, roofing systems, door and window openings, roof-to-wall connections and exterior cladding.
This is the seventh concrete-related educational class through HBI’s Superintendent Program. For more information on the HBI concrete courses or to arrange a course in your area, visit www.hbi.org.
