THE STORM

A week, a month or a year later, the next storm hits.

Maybe it is a hurricane in Florida, a tornado in Oklahoma or a flood in Iowa.

As the flood waters approach, some Iowa residents will feel safe in their homes because a couple of months earlier, IGS volunteers installed flood proof doors and floodproofed their foundation.

As the winds begin to howl, an Oklahoma town knows that its schools will easily withstand winds up to 150mph because IGS volunteers installed the latest wind resistant windows only a few weeks before.

As the hurricane comes ashore, an entire Florida community knows it will survive a direct hit because IGS worked with the local government to implement building codes that encouraged them to design their homes raised a few feet off the ground, like the photo you just saw from Texas.

We can do this.
