The Code Council Applauds SMART Rebuilding Act

December 1, 2017
No Comments

The International Code Council supports bipartisan House Resolution 4455, the Supporting Mitigation Activities and Resiliency Targets for Rebuilding Act or SMART Rebuilding Act, sponsored by Congressmen Jeff Denham (R-Calif.) and Mike Capuano (D-Mass.). This bill aims to help communities rebuild stronger and recover more quickly after natural disasters by incentivizing communities to build replacement structures to the most up-to-date building codes available.

Working in partnership with the BuildStrong Coalition, the Code Council has advocated for the adoption of the latest building codes and met with dozens of Congressional members and their staffs to highlight the importance of pre-disaster mitigation. Buildings constructed to updated codes incorporate the latest technology and provide the safest, most resilient structures for families and communities.

“Guided by our members, our mission and our new subsidiary, the Alliance for National & Community Resilience, the Code Council is leading the way with other partners like the BuildStrong Coalition, the American Institute of Architects and the National Institute of Building Sciences to foster safer buildings and more resilient communities here in the U.S. and around the globe,” said ICC Chief Executive Officer Dominic Sims, CBO.
