IBHS’ FORTIFIED Program is celebrating 50,000 designations. No state has been more committed to resilient construction than Alabama. Close to 80 percent of all FORTIFIED designations are located there. To mark the 50,000 milestone, this month’s episode of the Disaster Discussions Podcast features Alabama Department of Insurance (ALDOI) Commissioner Mark Fowler. Commissioner Fowler joins us to add context to the extraordinary milestone. He also shares how ALDOI identified FORTIFIED as a proven way to reduce risk, and he explains how Alabama’s belief in FORTIFIED serves as a model to the rest of the country.
