Understanding Hurricanes
Construction is often an industry that most people lack a detailed knowledge of unless they have been directly involved with it in the past. Of course we all know about and appreciate the work that construction workers perform to erect the houses, offices, movie theatres, museums, and countless other buildings we choose to spend our time in.
The aftermath of hurricanes means more construction projects than ever before. It is important with all of the renovation to choose a good general contractor if you are in Florida, Texas, or any of the other key hurricane states.
The fire occurred on Sunday October 20, 1991 and has been called the Tunnel Fire, East Bay Hills fire and Oakland Hills Firestorm because of its speed and devastating effect. The origin of the fire was above the west portal of the Caldecott Tunnel. The fire killed 25 people and injured another 150 people. Over 1,520 acres were destroyed by the fire and within the 1,520 acres were 3,354 single-family dwellings and 437 apartment and condominium units. The economic loss was about $1.5 billion.
The fire began on Saturday, October 19th. There was a grass fire in the Berkley Hills and firefighters spent the day fighting the 5-acre fire on the hillside. By Saturday night the firefighters believed that they had everything under control. The fire was not completely extinguished and by 11:00 am on Sunday the fire re-started itself as a brush fire.
Using building materials from the surrounding region is not only helpful to the environment (by reducing fossil fuels generated from transporting materials longer distances), but is also can rejuvenate the economy in certain areas.
As the storm starts to come into the area the outside regions of the storm may cause rain for many days. This rain can create surges in water and flood complete cities. The vast majority of deaths in a hurricane are a result of individuals drowning.
While we look back on this incident and see the destruction it is also important to look at the work that was done after words in order to get the East Bay Hills back in the mix of things. Homes were rebuilt and many commercial buildings were constructed by general contractors who had won out on their bids.
As the storm approaches the wind will continue to pick up and the rain will start to fall harder. When the rain and the wind subside, you will find yourself in the eye of the storm. The relinquishing of the storm will not last for long as the other side of the storm begins to pass over the area.
There are many different ways that construction can be sustainable. While it may not be feasible to ensure all of them are met on your construction project, take some time to meet with your general contractor and consider which ways you can help construction become more sustainable.
