IBHS

IBHS, or the Institute for Business & Home Safety, is an organization dedicated to improving the resilience of buildings against natural disasters like hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, and floods. It develops and promotes standards for safe construction and building materials, conducts research, and shares best practices with builders and homeowners. The goal is to reduce damage, protect lives, and lower recovery costs after disasters. Think of IBHS as a watchdog that helps ensure structures are strong enough to withstand extreme weather, making communities safer and more resilient.
