Alabama Grant Program to Help 3,000th Home Meet FORTIFIED Standard
GULF SHORES, Ala. — Three thousand families in Alabama will be better protected against severe weather thanks to the Strengthen Alabama Homes program, which recently funded its 3,000th FORTIFIED Roof™.
Based on decades of research from the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS), the FORTIFIED Home™ program helps families protect their homes from severe weather by identifying key construction and roofing practices that can minimize damage from winds up to 130 mph, torrential rain and hail up to 2 inches in diameter.
