All that stuff exists, you can get re-enforced roof and truss connections and hurricane ties to upgrade existing buildings. The issue is as always cost, people operate on a "why spend the money it may never happen" risk model generally and are averse to dealing with a problem til it punches them (personally) in the face, I mean this isn't new, as a species we don't deal with things until it gets to the brink.
