Many states have building codes that are reflective of the extreme weather that can be found in that area. Florida, for example, has had by far the most hurricanes make landfall of any state in the U.S. and its strict building codes reflect the threat of those storms. Property damage from severe weather grows into the billions of dollars when a major threat hits land, and Florida’s building codes are a good example of how it’s important to continually evolve for better protection against winds, debris, and flooding.
This hurricane season, things are shaping up to be favorable for a more active season in the Gulf of Mexico, and the southeast U.S where model guidance shows warmer than normal water temperatures and reduced wind shear, both of which would be supportive of more storm activity. Also, analog upper air patterns show that Atlantic storms would be favored to continue heading westward instead of recurving out to sea.
An active hurricane season can reveal risks for building and home owners, and ultimately on the local economy as a whole. A study done for the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety found that losses when Hurricane Andrew hit Florida, for example, ............................... read the article by clicking below
