Northern Kentucky Builders Prepare for Housing Disaster Response
Building contractors and suppliers in the Northern Kentucky area are being prepared to respond to housing-related disasters in their community such as tornadoes, floods or terrorist attacks.
A workshop on community emergency response is being held Nov. 18-20 in Fort Mitchell, KY, by the Home Builders Care Assistance Fund of Northern Kentucky, which is the charitable foundation of the Home Builders Association of Northern Kentucky.
The 20-hour program is being co-sponsored by the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security, the Kentucky Office of the Citizen Corps and the Emergency Management Institute.
The association is also in the process of developing a guide listing home building suppliers and contractors that will be available to provide emergency housing services. Information is being compiled until Dec. 1, and the guide will be distributed to community and social agencies.
