Receive Insurance Premium Discounts when you build or retrofit a residential home to meet the Louisiana State Uniform Construction Code requirements. Or… you install "damage mitigation improvements" which reduce the amount of loss in a hurricane.
What they are talking about are; storm windows, hurricane clips, ties and braces and assorted other nifty construction techniques which make your home more of a solid structure when the winds begin to pick up each year down here in Southern Louisiana.

Take a look at the form which is linked above. It is a small 2 page informational pamphlet provided by the Louisiana Department of Insurance. It includes beau coup information about the incentives, and links to more information, including the LSU Ag Center's LaHouse, which, by itself, is a massive collection of free resources for Louisiana Home Owners.
You must use a building code enforcement officer, a licensed architect, engineer or third party provider to inspect the property to make sure you receive the insurance benefits. A list of approved persons may be found at the LSUCCC.
I hope this gets some good exposure, and people can save a few dollars off their insurance.
Thank You
Marc
