"When Mother Nature's wrath strikes Florida again...
...citizens may not have enough revenue to cover losses and our property owners will take an enormous hit in their pocketbooks through additional taxes on their insurance policies."
--Barney Bishop, President and CEO, Associated Industries of Florida
When it comes to dealing with disasters in the home, preventative measures go a long way. Houses built with PATH-
