IBHS News Releases

The Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) is making access to disaster protection information easier with the next generation of its web site.

IBHS, a national nonprofit initiative of the insurance industry, is dedicated to protecting homes and businesses from natural disasters as well as certain everyday events like water damage.  

The latest enhancements to the IBHS web site allow more efficient access to property protection tips on hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, floods, hail, earthquakes and freezing weather, as well as to related news headlines, IBHS publications and other pertinent information. A new section on flood risks and levees is also available.

The web site continues to carry a number of popular features like a video gallery and an interactive “Question of the Week” about a topical natural disaster safety issue.
 
IBHS has also added a private section to its web site for its member insurers and reinsurers and their agents. This exclusive new section includes special research reports and presentations, training programs on key state building codes, member bulletins, an “Ask IBHS” feature and other content of particular interest to insurers. Property/casualty insurance trade group representatives also have access to the new section. 

Member company and trade group personnel should click on the "Register" button to fill out a brief registration form.  After submitting their information, they will have access to both the public and private site content.

“IBHS exists to help home and business owners protect their property from natural disasters,” said president and CEO Harvey Ryland.  “These web site enhancements allow us to more effectively provide the tools to help them build stronger residential and commercial structures, or to strengthen what’s already built.  At the same time, we have been able to add custom information for our members, who through their support of IBHS are working to make communities safer.”
