Build Change, a foundation dedicated to preventing housing loss caused by natural disasters such as earthquakes and windstorms, is announcing the "Intelligence Supervision Assistant for Construction" (ISAC-SIMO) app. The tool utilizes machine learning to help people ensure they're using the best materials and construction methods to ensure buildings are disaster-ready. ISAC-SIMO has amazing potential to radically improve construction quality and ensure that homes are built or strengthened to a resilient standard, especially in areas affected by earthquakes, windstorms, and climate change. The Linux Foundation, building on the support of IBM over these past three years, will help us build this community. Putting an app in people's hands that will let them know things such as whether the brick and mortar in their walls is safe, down to whether the proper rebar and brackets are in use ahead of a build, will definitely save time, money, and lives.

"It's not an earthquake that kills people, but the collapse of a poorly built building." Build Change, a foundation dedicated to preventing housing loss caused by natural disasters such as earthquakes and windstorms, is announcing the "Intelligence Supervision Assistant for Construction" (ISAC-SIMO) app. And it could save countless lives.
