BECOMING RESILIENT: A LIFE-OR-DEATH MATTER
The vulnerability of communities on Kauai, and throughout the state, necessitates decisive, resolute, and proactive measures. Kauai currently only has a few retrofitted buildings able to provide solid protection in tropical storms; this means there are no shelters that can provide safe haven from hurricanes, storm surge, or wildfires. Does this concern you? It should.
A CALL TO ACTION
Climate change is making itself known on our island; shores are eroding before our eyes, drought is effecting trees and grasses, and these dry conditions in conjunction with wind are creating the optimum opportunity for tragedies like Lahaina. Imagine a place engineered to withstand the strongest possible winds, wildfires, earthquakes, and can even serve as a fallout shelter in the very worst-case scenario. Buildings that will offer you the ultimate, above ground protection.

The Kauai Resilience Center
Is designed as a model to be replicated across the island, the state, and even vulnerable communities across the nation. The size, number, and use of the domes can be customized to the needs of each community; perhaps an urgent care, child care center, gymnasium, house of worship, etc.
Not only do Monolithic Domes stand as formidable structures against natural forces, but they also require minimal maintenance, deter termites, and can be built in record time, which means they are also ideal solutions to emergency housing following disasters. Studios and one bedrooms can be completed in a month and provide ultra safe homes for already traumatized and displaced families.
