We agree to aspire to the highest workmanship feasible.1 Members will encourage Long Term Recovery Groups to repair and rebuild above and beyond the International Residential Code and local codes. As a part of a larger commitment to our donors and the communities where we work we will adhere to the following guidelines: Repair and rebuild with materials and practices that are energy efficient. 2 Mitigation practices will be used whenever possible to minimize the risk of future events. 3
