construction and planning in flood zones
November 19, 2012 8:36 AM   Subscribe

1. How does flooding damage buildings? and 2. Ideas, discussions on preventive codes, zoning, planning?

How does saltwater, sewage and the surge power affect buildings? How does a Building Inspector evaluate the structure? (foundation, building systems, toxicity, drywall rot, electrical)
How are Building and Zoning Departments, and smart builders/developers/ architects getting beyond the mindset of simply constructing tougher walls, and thinking about resiliency/ adaptation?

Otherwise you're asking for someone to write a book for you here unless you can narrow this down pretty specifically. What is the problem you are trying to solve? -- jessamyn
