ABSTRACT
Natural and man made disasters can destroy lives, homes, businesses, the economy and the environment. Disasters can happen with little or no warming, leaving hundreds or even thousands of people without medical services, potable water, sanitation, communications and electrical services for up to several works. This paper identifies the imperative for the value of creating disaster-resistant homes and communities. The use of renewable, the application of distributed generation, implementation of energy efficient building design and constructions of disaster-resistant structures can minimize the destruction of property, cost of recovery and desruption of lives. Through enhanced construction practices and the use of solar energy, individuals and the communities in which they live can benefit from the implementation of disaster-resistant buildings that are functional and operational. The use of energy conservation practices and renewable power sources promote energy assurance while allowing occupants to maintain some semblance of normal life after a disaster.
