Mississippi funds hurricane damage mitigation program
SUMMARY: As insurance rates rise nationwide, Mississippi residents seek affordable ways to protect their homes. The Mississippi Insurance Department's newly funded Comprehensive Hurricane Damage Mitigation Program aims to help homeowners fortify against natural disasters like hurricanes and tornadoes. Originally established in 2007 but only funded this year through House Bill 1705, the program allocates $5 million from the state's Surplus Lines Association. Qualified applicants in specific counties can receive up to $110,000 for home mitigation. The initiative aims to replicate the success of similar programs in neighboring states like Alabama, potentially stabilizing and lowering insurance rates. A dedicated website for applications will be launched soon.
