The event is called “Fortify Florida: Pensacola Prepares” and is being held September 30 at the Pensacola Civic Center from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. There will be more than 70 exhibitors “providing information, services and products” and also “insurance company representatives who will be on hand to help homeowners understand the hurricane-resistance measures that will protect their homes, and how they can apply for discounts on their insurance premiums.”
If you were not aware of this tidbit it might be helpful to you:
By law, insurance companies are required to offer policyholders discounts on the wind-coverage portion of their homeowner policy premiums for specific measures that reduce their homes' exposure to windstorm damage.
Attendees can take part in “home improvement how-to clinics, learn about building products designed to strengthen homes and talk to insurance company representatives about how they can take advantage of premium discounts for hurricane hardening their homes.”
If you do attend this event please let us know how helpful or unhelpful it proved to be.
