The Last House Standing

The Last House Standing is a poignant and eye opening documentary film that will bring into focus our need to consider our past, mother nature, and how we choose to build in the future. This film sheds light on some of the challenges we face with natural disasters on the rise due to climate change and what can be done to limit or reduce the widespread destruction we see after a severe weather event. The interweaving stories of disaster and loss highlight the need for greater public education about what can be done to mitigate such catastrophic damage and more strict building codes that enable structures to be more resilient. A must watch!

This films is nothing short of incredible. It provides valuable insight into the flaws our building codes have nowadays. Everyone who currently owns a home or is considering doing so needs to watch this. In a time where climate change is making natural disasters more intense and more frequent, you need to know what measures to take in order to protect yourself. Otherwise, like some of the folks featured in this film, you'll lose it all.

I'm a first time homeowner and throughout this documentary I found myself wishing I had seen this before buying my house. There are lots of questions I wish I had asked about resilience that I'm now kicking myself over. I now plan on doing what I can to prepare for the worst. While this film is a documentary you wouldn't be entirely wrong calling it "horror" either, considering all that can go wrong when disaster strikes is genuinely terrifying. If you own a home or are considering buying one YOU NEED TO WATCH THIS.

This film features very dramatic footage of the impact of recent weather-related disasters. As most people acknowledge, such events will only increase in severity and frequency due to global climate change. The film clearly shows how ill-prepared we are for what lies ahead. But it also serves as a call to action to change how and where we build our homes. Many thought-provoking ideas are presented on what need to stop doing and also what we should start doing to increase our resiliency, and live more safely in the future. Just wish this film could be required viewing for all home-owners, and those considering a home purchase as well.

The film pointed out so many things we never thought of when we bought our house. Now we are trying to figure out how to make the house safer. We also sat down and actually read what was in our insurance policy. People need to watch this and pay attention!
