George Siegal director of The Last House Standing documentary film

Director's Statement

from George Siegal

As a former weatherman and reporter, I've covered countless stories about people who lost everything in natural disasters. Every year people lose their homes and many rebuild the exact same way. Most people have no idea if their insurance will actually get them whole again after a major disaster. If they have to evacuate, and their house is destroyed, many of the things that were lost can never be replaced. We roll the dice on where we live with no true sense of what the hazards really are. When you watch The Last House Standing you’ll meet people who are living the nightmare, and it doesn’t have to be this way.

This film is a wake-up call to everyone that we need to take control of our destiny and do whatever we can to protect our homes and lives.

We live in a world where everyone races to be first, but when it comes to your home, you want to be the last house standing.
