"For example, all homes must have continuous load paths that connect the roof to the walls, with hurricane straps embedded in the concrete that wraps around the trusses. Concrete masonry unit walls are connected to the foundations with rebar that extends up inside the masonry units, which are then filled with additional concrete, according to Languell. All homes and businesses also feature operable storm shutters or impact glass, and everything that could get tossed about in hurricane winds — from trees to playground equipment, park benches, and trash containers — is braced or anchored in place."
