Multi-Hazard Resiliency for Residential Construction Committee
(IS-MHRRC)

Committee Purpose & Focus

The Multi‑Hazard Resiliency for Residential Construction Committee (IS‑MHRRC) is responsible for developing and maintaining ICC standards that improve the performance, durability, and safety of residential buildings exposed to a wide range of natural hazards. The committee’s work focuses on establishing technical requirements, best practices, and performance criteria that enhance resiliency against events such as high winds, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, seismic activity, and other multi‑hazard conditions.

The IS‑MHRRC evaluates emerging research, field experience, and stakeholder input to ensure that its standards support resilient design, construction, and retrofitting of residential structures. Its purpose is to advance hazard‑resistant construction practices, promote community safety, and provide a consistent, science‑based framework that can be used by designers, builders, regulators, and code officials.
