Fort Myers, FL, October 30, 2006 --(PR.com)-- The Federal Alliance for Safe Homes (FLASH) has certified Storm Smart Industries as a Participating Contractor in the ‘My Safe Florida Home’ inspection and matching grant program.

This certification allows for qualified citizens to receive up to $5,000 in matching funds toward the ‘hardening’ of their primary residence against the potential dangers posed by wind and rain events such as hurricanes. Categories for home improvement include:
- Improving the strength of the roof deck attachment
- Creating a secondary water barrier to prevent water intrusion
- Improving the survivability of your roof surface
- Bracing gable ends in your roof framing
- Reinforcing roof-to-wall connections
- Upgrading exterior wall opening protections
