Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey will join Sunset Beach Mayor Shannon Phillips and N.C. Insurance Underwriting Association CEO Gina Hardy to unveil a $20 million fortified roof grant program in coastal North Carolina in Sunset Beach on Thursday.
A recent study shows that having a fortified roof results in approximately 35% reduction in claims reported following Hurricanes Matthew, Florence, Dorian and Isaias. Of the ones that filed a claim, the damage was almost 23% less severe compared to homes with standard roofs.
The press conference will be held at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, July 17, at 1018 Park Road SW, Sunset Beach, N.C.
The media are invited to attend.
(In case of inclement weather, the press conference will be held at the Sunset Beach Fire Department, 102 Shoreline Drive West, Sunset Beach.)
