The absurdly large concrete facility, resembling a airline hanger, can recreate almost every natural disaster: hurricane winds, hail, rain and fire!
At the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safely, they regularly test the resiliency of commonly used home materials, like roofing, siding, garage doors, porches and even landscaping.
What happens during a disaster? And, how can we improve what we are doing now?
Unfortunately, insurance companies can only cut checks… they can’t get back to baby books and photo albums.
IN THIS PODCAST: Susan Millerick from the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety, a nonprofit research organization funded by U.S. insurance companies joins Amy & JJ.
Their website,
www.ibhs.org
serves as a great resource for any homeowner wanting to know best practices. From preventing ice dams on your roof to water damage from washing machines.
