Florida Wind Mitigation Retrofit Requirements for Existing Buildings
1 Hour | $26.95
The Federal Alliance for Safe Homes (FLASH) stated in their Spring 2007 newsletter, "your home's roof, wall-to-roof connection, and openings (windows and doors) are key areas that can be significantly strengthened against windstorms." It is probably no coincidence that these are the major areas of emphasis in the Florida Building Code requirements given in "Hurricane Mitigation Retrofits for Existing Site-Built Single Family Residential Structures." In this interactive online course you will learn about these Florida retrofit requirements that went into effect in October 2007, which projects have these requirements, and how to implement them.

The information that is highlighted in this course does not represent a complete review of the Florida Building Code Section 553.844.
