A. Disrupting the Loss, Repair, Repeat Paradigm: Strategies for Mitigating the Impacts of Severe Weather on the Built Environment
All too often stakeholders look at the risk severe weather poses to new and existing building inventory and rely on fate or luck to determine outcomes. Yet, during the past several decades, researchers and building professionals at the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety have studied how severe weather interacts with the built environment. This research has led to the development of mitigation strategies proven to reduce the frequency and severity of claims. These strategies are contained in the FORTIFIED building programs that offer solutions for a wide range of budgets and perils, including wind, hail, and wind-driven water intrusion. FORTIFIED designations are available for residential, commercial, and multifamily structures.
