Preferred term

restoration of damaged housing  

Definition

  • The past two decades have seen significant improvements in techniques for restoring damaged buildings to full functionality instead of demolishing and reconstructing them. Many disasters inundate structure interior and contents, whether from hurricane storm surge, riverine flooding, tsunamis, burst pipes, fire suppression water, or breaks in building envelopes from wind or earthquakes.
