Florida mitigation inspections program gets good review
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – April 30, 2008 – A recent survey of My Safe Florida Home (MSFH) participants revealed that 97 percent of homeowners in the program found the application process easy, 80 percent had a good or excellent experience, and 82 percent were interested in recommending the program to neighbors.
Florida Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink said the program inspects homes and provides grants to homeowners interested in retrofitting their homes to withstand hurricanes. Only single-family homes are eligible for the program, however.
The program, which was relaunched in 2007, provides free wind inspections to homeowners and provides them with recommendations on how to hurricane-proof their homes.
Sink stated that 60 percent of participants learn they are eligible for insurance premium discounts, averaging about $226 in savings. Thirty-four percent of those homeowners took advantage of the discounts without making further improvements to their homes.
