Fort Pierce - Friday January 13, 2023: This week on In Focus with IRSC Public Media, design and construction lessons from Hurricanes Ian and Nicole, a conversation with Valerie Slack, an architect and principal owner of Native Design Architecture here in Fort Pierce.
She responded to a call from the American Institute of Architects to help survey and compile a report on the damage done by Ian. She'll tell us about what she learned from the damage, and what shoreline homeowners, or those planning to build on the coast, need to do to protect against storm surge. Important lessons for us here on the east coast in the wake of Hurricane Nicole.
