ASTM E3429 — Property resilience assessment
An ASTM guide addressing property resilience assessments in relation to natural hazards.
Standards references reviewed September 15, 2026. These summaries explain purpose, not the full standard. Confirm the edition required by your contract, program, and jurisdiction; publication of a newer edition does not automatically change local requirements.
Why it matters
Resilience review complements rather than replaces other property investigations. The hazards, time horizons, and available property information should be clear in the agreed scope.
In practice
A project example
A property’s flood exposure and ability to maintain operations are considered alongside its existing physical condition.
