Prepared for Southeast Region Research Initiative National Security Directorate PO Box 2008 Oak Ridge, TN 37831-6262 Under CRADA 12-CERL-02 ERDC/CERL TR-12-20 ii Abstract On a national scale, less attention has been devoted to preparing for and rebuilding after a disaster than perhaps should have been, especially in light of recent events. In the first decade of the 21st century, large-scale disasters such as 9/11 and the Gulf Coast and Atlantic Coast hurricane sea- sons created a new awareness of the potential for loss, both within the public and within government agencies. The Resilient Home Program (RHP) was funded by the Department of Homeland Security-sponsored Southeast Region Research Initiative at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The program’s goals are to develop resources to help assess a community’s condition during and after a disaster and to help communities respond in a timely manner to rebuild or to prevent or reduce the impacts of subsequent disasters. The U.S. Army Engineer Re- search and Development Center–Construction Engineering Research La- boratory (ERDC-CERL) is a participant in RHP and was asked to apply its capabilities in the building sciences and technologies, construction eco- nomics, and U.S.
