Ommid Seberi was speaking at the workshop 'Enhancing Resilience for Buildings' on Friday. He said the Building Resilience Index (BRI) is an IFC innovation that is online and globally available to users free of charge. Trần Phương, a specialist from the Việt Nam Institute for Building Science and Technology, cited Typhoon Yagi as a natural disaster that dealt a heavy blow to northern Việt Nam. He underlined several types of structures that were heavily damaged by the storm, including high-rise buildings, factories, and column and tower structures. The specialist recommended measures to mitigate natural disaster damage to buildings, including keeping wind data up to date, organising training programmes on typhoon damage mitigation, and strengthening equipment attached to buildings.
