We can't always predict the weather.
But we can build and retrofit stronger homes, buildings and structures to prepare for the worst.
When it comes to disaster resiliency, the building envelope - the part that separates the outside from the inside - is one of the most important parts of the house. The key is to design a seamless building envelope with every element (roof, foundation and walls) securely attached and airtight. That means no gaps or holes where wind or water can enter and cause damage.

When disaster strikes, BASF is there to fight back - and build back:
- Creating a diverse portfolio of disaster durable products that positively impact energy, air sealing, speed of construction and accuracy of installation
- Meeting the most stringent codes for structural performance, like Factory Mutual Approvals and Miami-Dade Standards
- Aligning with the insurance industry, design professionals, government agencies and non-government organizations to rebuild faster, save money, reduce waste and pollution, and speed the transition to more sustainable communities
