Seeking Hazard Mitigation Case Studies for Publication
AIA is seeking case studies of single family homes that embody one or more Qualities of Resilience. Qualities of Resilience describes characteristics or questions for design teams to consider in an integrated systems-approach to design.

Case studies should exhibit innovative, hazard mitigation best practices for one or more of the following:
- Flood (all types, including riverine and coastal)
- Tornadoes
- Wildfires
- Hurricanes
- Earthquakes
If you have a single family home you'd like to submit for consideration, please complete this brief form by January 15.
