Disasters come in many forms—fires, hurricanes, and even acts of violence in our schools.

Despite common perception, brick, stone & CMU construction isn’t costly—it’s a smart investment. Consider these statistics:

$1 of Masonry = $13 in Savings from reduced damage, cleanup, and economic disruption. (U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation)
Nearly 50 percent of businesses in the U.S. face extreme risks from hazards such as floods, wildfires and high winds. (Realtor.com)

In 2023, the U.S. experienced 28 weather-related disasters exceeding $1 billion each in damages. Hurricanes have made landfall in 12 states since 2020. (NOAA)
In 2022, wildfires destroyed nearly 2.7 million acres nationwide. (HHS.gov)
