What is a wind mitigation report or form? Generally, to properly rate a home’s insurance coverage, a wind mitigation inspection is needed to determine which credits apply to a home. During a wind mitigation inspection, a certified inspector looks for key features and add-ons that reduce the amount of damage your home may suffer in the event of a hurricane or strong windstorm.

Why is it important to get one? An accurately completed wind mitigation form can result in discounts applied toward your home owners insurance premiums.  According to the Florida Division of Emergency Management, 15% – 70% of home insurance premiums in Florida can be attributed to wind-damage risk.

While there is a low upfront cost involved, outfitting your home with wind mitigation features can result in significant savings right away and in the long term.
