MITIGATION TECHNIQUES PRESCRIBED BY FBC RULE

On October 25, 2007, the Florida Building Commission filed a mitigation rule with the Department of State that prescribes techniques to be used by licensed contractors when bracing gable ends, strengthening roofs and using secondary water barrier to help mitigate damage to a home from hurricanes.

The Web link for the mitigation manual adopted by the rule is: http://www.dca.state.fl.us/fbc/Hurricane_Mitigation/Hurricane_Mitigation_Workshop.htm

All contractors participating in the My Safe Florida Home program will need to follow the techniques outlined in this rule.
