Slide24Least land planning and building code development and enforcementMisconception that resilience can be sacrificed for affordability
Public policies that encourage risk taking and prolong low awareness

Lowest lifecycle cost and risk of loss?
Lowest lifecycle cost/risk of loss to both individual and society?
What is Affordable?
