Hurricane Preparedness Guide for Florida Homeowners

The hurricane season shows Floridians that there is no time to be complacent about the risk of a hurricane impacting them or their family. Irma, although weakened at landfall, affected many areas of southwest Florida, including the Sarasota area.

It is important to remember that being prepared is the best and easiest way to care for your home and the safety of your loved ones. According to the Attorney General, not all hurricane window protections are equal. Films and other similar systems that are attached only to the window pane or window frame do not meet standards set by the Florida Building Commission. When looking into protecting your home with impact resistant windows and doors, make sure they are approved by the Florida Building Commission.
