How Alabama takes on storms with 'Fortified' homes 20 years after Hurricane Ivan
SUMMARY: Today marks the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Ivan, which devastated Baldwin County along the Gulf Coast, causing an estimated $4 billion in damages. In response, builders developed the fortified home construction standard designed to enhance home resilience against severe weather. This standard ensures that, even if roofs lose shingles, water cannot penetrate the homes. Currently, there are about 50,000 fortified homes in Alabama, with 95% of them sustaining little to no damage during Hurricane Sally. Homeowners in fortified homes benefit not only from peace of mind but also from significantly lower insurance premiums, highlighting the effectiveness of this construction approach.
A storm no one could fully prepare for. Twenty years ago on Monday, Baldwin County felt the wrath of Hurricane Ivan.
