Humpday Hangout: Building Codes and Disasters

Mike Dugan and the panel regulars talk with their guests about building codes and how proper building construction can mitigate the damage from natural disasters. Goshen Township (OH) Chief Ed Myers speaks about the requirements to rebuild structures damaged or destroyed in a tornado, and Miami-Dade (FL) Captain Enrique Perea will review strengthened building codes in the Miami area to help buildings withstand hurricane-force winds. They will also discuss the recent California wildfires.
