Disaster Mitigation

Record the home's storm shutters as a mitigation feature and describe them in the commentary.

Transcript

Disaster Mitigation

Disaster Mitigation lists features that protect the home from natural disasters, like storm shutters, impact-resistant glass or a fortified roof. Open it from the section list.

Storm shutters

Mitigation Feature is required. This home has an electric shutter system, so add an entry and choose Storm Shutters. A home with no mitigation features gets None instead, and then this section doesn't print on the report.

Describe the feature

Once a feature is listed, Disaster Mitigation Commentary is required. Describe what's there: the home has an electric shutter system.

Energy Efficient and Green Features

Photos of the shutters can go in the exhibits, but they're optional. The check mark in the section list means every required answer is in. Next, Energy Efficient and Green Features.
