Economic Architecture: The Podcast

In this week’s conversation on home fortification, host Stuart Yasgur talks to Commissioner Mark Fowler and Dr. Lars Powell to explore an inspiring case study from Alabama. The FORTIFIED Homes program is improving the resilience of communities across the state in the face of hurricanes.

After the impacts of Hurricane Sally in 2020, Alabama’s robust fortification of homes prevented excess damage through preventative roof fortification—serving as a blueprint for other states. Through upfront investment in home fortification, Alabama is showing how short-term investments can lead to long-term rewards in home resilience, community safety, and better relationships between all parties involved in improving the health of our communities in the face of extreme weather-related threats.
