This journal article is about waterfront construction in New York City and how it will change waterfront development. I can use this information to compare to the different building codes and flood zoning for the gulf coast of America. Hopefully this will show the difference in policies in different parts of the U.S. and I would be able to point out what needs to be changed.

Aldrich D (2012) Building Resilience: Social Capital in Post-Disaster Recovery. EconLit.

This book show the ways to build healthy buildings that will with-stand natural disasters. It will help me understand the sustainable ways of building homes and other structures. I will also be able to compare different construction ideas with other opinions.

This article is for understanding hurricanes on wood-framed houses. It will help with the development of what changes could be made to improve the conditions of at-risk homes. I will be able to find building codes and analyze what could be changed.

This will help me see the damage to buildings and other structures and how they contribute to pollution of the environment. It will also show hurricane proof building structures and their strengths.

This will help me analyze understand what the water quality was in the water bodies surrounding New Orleans, LA. I will find information about how much pollution was put into the environment after hurricane Katrina.

Simmons KM, Sutter D (2008) Manufactured home building regulations and the February 2, 2007 Florida Tornadoes. Nat Hazards 46:3:415-425

This article relates to hurricanes and tornadoes and their effects on mobile homes in Florida. I would be able to compare and analyze different aspects of building codes for mobile homes in Florida and find what the best way of sustainably constructing them.

Torgal FP, Jalali S (2011) Eco-efficient Construction and Building Materials. Springer London. doi: 10.1007/978-0-85729-892-8

This gives me essential information on what buildings would with-stand hurricanes. Vital information about eco-friendly materials and how useful and strong they are is also provided. This article relates to the building of sustainable homes part of my problem.

This will relate to the construction choices after a major hurricane. A hurricane like Katrina could hit again and it would destroy what was built if it isn’t constructed the proper way. I can get a deeper look into why there were certain ways New Orleans was built after the hurricane and figure out what would have been the most efficient way after relating to eco-construction resources.
