Next, choose a Category 5 Hurricane and the most expensive window and roof protection. After running the simulation, what did you learn?
O Currently, human designs can not protect a home from 155 mph winds.
O If you spend enough money, you can protect your home from natural disasters
O It is crucial to choose high-quality and reliable hurricane-resistant materials for windows and roofs.
O Investing in hurricane shutters, impact-resistant windows, and reinforced roofing systems can significantly reduce the damage caused by a Category 5 hurricane.
O Even with the most expensive window and roof protection, there may still be some damage to the home, but it will be significantly less severe than if no protective measures were taken.
O It is essential to secure other aspects of the home, such as doors, garage doors, and outdoor structures, to minimize damage during a hurricane.
O Proper installation of protective measures is essential to ensure their effectiveness. Faulty installation may weaken the protection provided.
O While protection measures can reduce damage, they cannot guarantee complete safety during a Category 5 hurricane. Evacuation and following local authorities' instructions remain the best approach for personal safety.
O Continuous advancements in engineering and technology may lead to further improvements in home protection against extreme winds in the future.
