My
Safe Florida Home The
first part of this presentation is intended to provide
background information on wind characteristics, wind
and building/structural interaction and common terms
associated with structural design for wind loads.
It will also introduce the My Safe Florida Home (MSFH)
Program that was established by the Legislature to
help Floridians identify how they can strengthen their
homes against hurricane force winds and to reduce
hurricane damage exposure in our state. The second
part of this presentation is to provide a process
