There seems to be more and more homes destroyed each year, and one of the most common reasons are “high wind events” like tornados and hurricanes. Even if the entire house isn’t torn from its foundation there is a great likelihood that the roof will be severely damaged, and once it is the rain pours in and further destroys the house and contents.

Will King from the Build Show discusses how the Fortified Building System can help prevent major structural damage and the following water damage. Also, apparently you can get tax credits if you build to the Fortified standard and get a certificate from them.
