City Of Miami, Enterprise Community Partners, Launch 'Keep Safe Miami'
Check out the Miami Patch post on the launch of #KeepSafeMiami, an initiative for City of Miami Government for city landowners to identify improvements that they can make now, so they do not have to react to damage following a major #naturaldisaster such as a #hurricane. The tool has been released for use by Enterprise Community Partners and was developed by Institute for Building Technology and Safety (IBTS) along with several other partners. We are incredibly proud to be part of this program that will lead to a stronger and more resilient #Miami, #Florida.
patch.com The goal is to help affordable housing owners and operators protect their buildings and residents from climate change and natural disasters.

Our Institute for Building Technology and Safety (IBTS) team wishes you the happiest of Thanksgivings.
Thank you for allowing us to serve your #communities and build a more #resilient and #safe future.
Our Story
Institute: Ideation. Innovation. Investment in programs, procedures and the communities we serve. As a nonprofit organization, we are able to focus our thought leadership and subject matter expertise on large-scale goals and challenges instead of shareholder profit demands. We have a long history of sharing our knowledge through teaching and training others. It’s about mission over margin. Good governance and guidance. Vision and value.
Building: Bungalow. Brownstone. Bridge. And all points in between. Our work touches almost every aspect of the built environment. We are building resilient communities by reducing risk, enhancing public safety and improving quality of life. We balance social, economic and environmental priorities, whether manufactured housing, major infrastructure project or local government services.
Technology: Tools. Techniques. Tricks of the trade. We bring them all to bear on every project we touch. Some are tried, tested and true. Others are new innovations, like using live mobile video to conduct inspections, or drone technology to survey a site, or new ways to think about and meet challenges. Emerging technologies are on our horizon too. How can they help us improve the built environment?
Safety: Security. Sustainability. Shelter. Life safety building codes and standards. Trusted third-party advisor. Provider of local government services. Much of our work involves helping communities become resilient, or to recover after a disaster. We understand that the physical, emotional and economic wellbeing of a community depends on its ability to provide citizens with the services and resources they need to thrive in a safe, secure environment.
