My Safe Florida Home and your wind-mitigation form

Impact windows and doors count as opening protection, Question 9 on the state's wind-mitigation form, OIR-B1-1802. A licensed inspector fills it out after the work, and your insurer sets the discount.

The fine print
The rules
Wind and missile rules
Palm Beach County is outside the HVHZ. Its Risk Category II wind map runs from 150 to 170 mph, above the 140 mph mark that puts glass in the wind-borne debris region.
- Up to 30 feet: the large-missile test of ASTM E1996.
- Above 30 feet: the small-missile test of the same standard.
- Each unit needs a Florida Product Approval, or a Miami-Dade NOA, covering its size and design pressure.
