ABSTRACT
Natural
and man made disasters can destroy lives, homes, businesses, the economy and
the environment. Disasters can happen with little or no warming, leaving
hundreds or even thousands of people without medical services, potable water,
sanitation, communications and electrical services for up to several works.
This paper identifies the imperative for the value of creating
disaster-resistant homes and communities. The use of renewable, the application
of distributed generation, implementation of energy efficient building design
and constructions of disaster-resistant structures can minimize the destruction
of property, cost of recovery and desruption of lives. Through enhanced
construction practices and the use of solar energy, individuals and the
communities in which they live can benefit from the implementation of
disaster-resistant buildings that are functional and operational. The use of
energy conservation practices and renewable power sources promote energy
assurance while allowing occupants to maintain some semblance of normal life
after a disaster.
