About this episode
It’s no secret: tornadoes and hurricanes wreak havoc on manufactured homes. So why don’t we build them stronger? To detail the challenges to improving their performance we have Elaina Sutley, associate professor of structural engineering at the University of Kansas. With an interdisciplinary engineering and social science focus, Sutley examines disparities when it comes to communities recovering from extreme wind hazards.
Although the problem is well-known, change is slow. Sutley details the particular problems and complexities involved in upgrading design provisions for manufactured homes.
