  1. Install a wind-resistant roof and metal fasteners
  • Reduces the uplift and potential damage to your roof system and covering. Choose the highest level of wind rated shingles; look for shingles rated to ASTM D3161 Class F or ASTM D7158 Class H.
 
  1. Install impact-resistant windows and doors
  • Prevents wind from entering your home, which can lead to roof failure. Install tested and code-approved and certified impact-resistant windows and doors to provide the highest level of protection from windborne debris. Choose an impact-resistant garage door or reinforce your existing door.
 
  1. Secure outdoor items and trim trees
  • Prevents items such as branches, trash cans, and grills from becoming windborne debris.
