Evan Reis

Executive Director and Co-Founder, U.S. Resiliency Council

Reis co-founded the USRC in 2011 as a way to educate building stakeholders about the gap between sustainability and true resilient design. The USRC’s mission and vision are to advocate for resilience-based design and a future where we not only have a low impact on the environment, but the environment has a low impact on us. The USRC recently sponsored a bill that will appropriate $250 million in grant funding toward the seismic retrofit of soft story apartment buildings.
