Episode description

In this episode, we dive into the groundbreaking research from the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) on wind-driven rain — a powerful but often underestimated force in severe storms. Join us as we explore how IBHS scientists simulate hurricane conditions in their state-of-the-art lab to better understand how rain penetrates buildings during high-wind events. You'll hear how this research directly influences FORTIFIED Home™ standards, improves building practices, and helps homeowners strengthen their defenses against costly water damage.
