About The My Safe Florida Home Program
For many of us, buying and owning a home is one of the most important investments we make in our lives. When we make this investment, we expect our homes will protect us and serve as a safe haven from hurricanes. To better protect ourselves and our homes when a hurricane hits, we must also invest in building standards and techniques that will strengthen our homes and communities against the catastrophic damage that hurricanes inflict.
The Department of Financial Services is providing guidance on what you can do to strengthen your home against catastrophic storms and better protect you and your family.
You can start by taking advantage of a new program, My Safe Florida Home, which offers free wind inspections to measure how safe your home is against hurricanes. Following the inspection, you will receive a detailed report that will explain key steps you can take to make your home more hurricane resistant. The report will also outline insurance discounts that may be available to you if you take the recommended steps to strengthen your home, if you provide your insurance information at the time you apply (wind, premium, dwelling coverage and hurricane deductible.) But that’s not all. You may be eligible for a matching investment of up to $5,000 to help make recommended improvements to strengthen your home against hurricanes.
The first step is to apply for a free inspection, however, not all properties are eligible for free wind inspections, included are: mobile homes and manufactured homes, apartments, condominiums, multi-family dwellings and businesses.
