Pre-1970 traditional construction
 

There are thousands of pre-1970 traditionally built properties in high risk areas.  These properties are inherently resilient in terms of building materials.  To date, most attention has been paid to new construction or properties that are in extreme risk.  Some of this funding should be directed toward the majority of the properties so that we can identify best practices to address buildings with materials that are salvageable after innundation, and buildings which are experiencing impacts from nuissance flooding and small events.
