In my continuing effort to pass on useful information from the internet, I wanted to tell you about a program I saw advertised in a TV ad the other day. The program, “My Safe Florida Home” is administered by the Florida Department of Financial Services. According to the ad and the website, it is possible for any Floridian whose residence is a single-family, detached, site-built home to get a free wind inspection. One of the benefits of receiving a free wind inspection through the My Safe Florida Home program is identifying the potential insurance savings available to you based on the current structure of your home. Many insurance companies provide discounts or credits for construction features proven to reduce damage from hurricanes. There are also grants available for qualifying residents that will pay for some types of hurricane protection.

I suggest that each of you check this out for yourselves and see if this is something that might be useful. I know that I am going to take a closer look for myself as I am always interested in saving a little money!
