Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Louisiana announced a $100 million investment this year in FORTIFIED home projects. Under new state requirements, homeowners who strengthen their homes to FORTIFIED standards may qualify for insurance discounts of up to 49% on the hurricane portion of their premiums, provided the discounts are implemented by insurers no later than January 1, 2027. The discounts vary based on the home's location and the level of FORTIFIED designation.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The state is funding upgrades to improve homeowner resilience, with $20 million of that funding coming from federal housing money aimed at coastal homeowners. The new requirements mandate that insurers adjust risk pricing based on structural improvements, which was developed using two hurricane catastrophe models.
