IBHS ranks hurricane coast states on building code adoption, enforcement

Retrieved on: 
火曜日, 4月 23, 2024

RICHBURG, S.C., April 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- As hurricane season approaches, the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) today released the fifth edition of Rating the States, which evaluates building code adoption, enforcement and contractor licensing in the 18 states along the hurricane coastline from Texas to Maine. The signature study found that while some states work to ensure homes are resilient against extreme weather, many communities remain vulnerable because state or local jurisdictions have failed to adopt or enforce modern building codes or have allowed their codes to lapse and become outdated.

Key Points: 
  • Less than 35 percent of Americans live in communities with an adopted modern building code.
  • IBHS conducts Rating the States every three years to coincide with the building code cycle.
  • Since 2008, no state in the report has adopted a new residential code and enacted uniform statewide enforcement of that code.
  • Giammanco notes that inconsistent code adoption and enforcement resulted in catastrophic losses when Florida was impacted by Hurricane Andrew, which ultimately led to the state's focus on a strong code environment.
