Across the U.S., powerful wind events continue to test the strength of our buildings, infrastructure, and recovery systems. When these events strike, the challenge extends far beyond repairing damaged structures. Communities face disruptions to power, water, transportation, and communications that ripple through social and economic systems.

Federal leaders are responding by calling for a structured, research-driven roadmap that does more than summarize discussions. The goal is to define clear priorities:

  • Immediate recovery actions that restore essential services and functionality in days, not weeks.

  • Medium-term strategies that rebuild stronger, ensuring that social and economic systems regain stability.

  • Long-term measures that mitigate future risks and advance resilience in design, construction, and policy.

This opportunity is about convening engineers, meteorologists, planners, and resilience specialists to identify the most critical gaps and chart a path forward. It is about producing actionable outcomes that shape future standards, policies, and investments in resilience.
