FORTIFIED EVALUATION SERVICES
Mitigation Discounts are available to Alabama homeowners living in Mobile or Baldwin county. Retrofitting you home to FORTIFIED standards not only reduces your insurance costs, it reduces potential out-of-pocket costs associated with your windstorm deductible.
In Mississippi, FORTIFIED discounts are available for homeowners insured by the MWUA and voluntary discounts are available from several private carriers. Beginning July 1, 2013 new legislation requires all insurance carriers to offer discounts for FORTIFIED Designated homes. For more information contact your insurance agent or Disaster Smart.
