Buildings that are both safe and resilient to natural disasters are more valuable to current and future owners, tenants, lenders and insurers, and to the communities in which they are located.
The U.S. Resiliency Council Getting-to-Silver Initiative provides a means for owners to achieve a USRC designation that sets their buildings apart as contributing to a resilient community and as good long term investments. Buildings achieving a Silver rating are recognized by the US Green Buildings Council® through their new RELi® Resilience Standard, and the USRC is engaging with communities, lenders and insurers to incentivize USRC rated buildings in recognition of their value and lower risk.
