What to Expect:

Join IBHS for this in-person Disaster Dynamics Academy: Damage Amplifiers – Identifying Risk Factors and Solutions.. This event is designed to deepen your understanding of how failures of key structural components exposed to wind, wind-driven rain and hail can increase the likelihood of damage and the cost of claims 

During this event, you will:  

  • Watch a demonstration in IBHS’s new driving-rain lab test to understand water entry through windows, doors and other openings of the building envelope.
  • Explore how wind-driven hail as a damage amplifier inflates the cost of claims due to impact severity on roof covers and other building materials.
  • Learn about IBHS’s upcoming damage amplifier test series including investigations on attached structures such as carports, porches, patio covers and garage doors.
  • Understand how FORTIFIED provides solutions against the impact of damage amplifiers associated with wind, wind-driven rain and hail. 

What to Wear:

Casual attire. Please wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes with no slick soles or heels.
