Architects Stand Ready to Respond During Hurricane Season
Washington, D.C. -- With the beginning of hurricane season, the American Institute of Architects’ (AIA) Disaster Assistance Program and its thousands of architect volunteers stand ready to respond to areas affected by disasters.
“The frequency, severity and cost of disasters is increasingly affecting the built environment,” said Robert Ivy, AIA CEO and executive vice president. “With their unique training and experience, architects possess the skills to effectively design for resiliency and plan for disaster response. It’s critical that officials work with architects to facilitate these processes.”
