Fortified Publications

Through a grant funded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (award number 2023-67019- 40610), the Building Resilience through Extension Awareness and Knowledge (BREAK) project team developed nine publications on the FORTIFIED standard, an above code set of building standards that can better protect a home from high-speed winds. These resources provide a guide on how homeowners can build a more resilient, sustainable home as well as learn about the different levels of this standard.
