Department of Energy Resources
- Building Reconstruction after a disaster (Source: DOE). DOE is working to encourage cost-effective, durable, and energy-efficient building reconstruction in areas struck by natural disasters, including the Gulf Coast region, which continues to recover from the effects of the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season. The Building Technologies Program offers information and resources for state and local officials, builders, and consumers, as well as training opportunities on building technologies and designs that can make a long-term difference in areas vulnerable to natural disasters. When applied, these technologies can result in safer, healthier, more economically viable communities that are less susceptible to disaster.
Small Business Administration
