This week’s topics are: What is Mitigation and Preparedness? CEO specialists will define mitigation and explain how to reduce future risk. And Working with Seniors Before the Storm: Specialists will talk to seniors about creating a plan for what is needed in the event of a disaster and what to discuss with children and/or other family members.
Topics to be covered over the next few weeks are: Retrofitting Roofs/Homes in High Wind Regions; Water-Resistant Building Materials; Elevating Your Home, Including Mobile Homes; and more.
