Over time, Hurricanes earned a reputation of wreaking havoc in cities, causing massive property damage and leading to economic devastation. This damage is caused by the elements that accompany hurricanes, which include winds and storms. If you live in hurricane-prone areas, especially living next to the coastline, you need to take preventive measures to protect your family and property from damage. While most people do not make an effort to make their homes hurricane proof because of the perceived costs, it is worth noting that you don?t have to break the bank. Here are the five things you can incorporate in your house to make it hurricane-proof.

If you are building the house from scratch, then you might want to consider working with construction materials that are hurricane proof. The design of the house will also significantly impact its ability to withstand a storm. Instead of using wood, consider working with concrete to build the walls of the house. You can use foam panels filled with concrete and steel panels as they do not buckle even when exposed to the strongest winds. Also, they can withstand all the flying debris in a storm. Deep foundations also help in keeping the house erect even during the strongest hurricanes. The other hurricane-proof materials you can include in your project are stone pavers, steel roof, and hurricane clips.
