Hurricane Season, Flooding and the Newest Modular Trends

Hurricane Season as many people have come to know causes major inland flooding all along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Southern Coast of the United States.  Homes and businesses are lost, families are displaced and the costs of property damage skyrockets with each passing season.  Modular construction companies have come up with innovative modular building solutions and recovery housing for these hard hit areas.

Modular construction is not a new idea and has evolved from the making of simple modular homes to the development of superior modular buildings such as state of the art hotels, classrooms, office complexes and marinas.  Modular constructions accelerated building methods provide speedy recovery housing for those who may have been displaced because of inland flooding or a big storm such as Hurricane Katrina.  All over the Gulf Coast, these manufactured homes were immediately shipped in to provide recovery housing for displaced residents.  Manufactured housing units were chosen by the US Government as the most viable solution for the hard hit area’s immediate emergency housing needs, and the companies providing them did not disappoint.

Manufactured building companies are working hard to come up with new and innovative designs and are now designing modular buildings that can float!  These state of the art buildings are being designed with back-up power and water systems that will allow the home to function in the event of power or water loss during a storm or flooding.  Hurricanes and the inland flooding caused by them results in billions of dollars’ worth of property damage each year and due to Global Warming and rising seas, the cost of repairing the damage will only increase as time goes by.  The manufacturers of these buildings have provided solid solutions for emergency housing demands along with ways to cut property damage costs.  They've come a long way from mobile homes and will continue to provide high quality manufactured buildings to meet any building or construction requirements you may have.
