Disaster Resilience
Disaster Resilience in architectural planning means using flexible building layouts and materials that can be changed or repaired quickly after an emergency. Designers can use modular parts, raised floors, and lightweight walls so that spaces can be adapted for shelter, medical care, or other needs when a disaster happens. Roof shapes and drainage systems can help move water away fast during heavy rain. Using local materials helps with faster rebuilding. Simple building shapes are easier to fix and keep strong during earthquakes or storms.
