Credit for Hurricane preparedness? - Kapohocat - 09-22-2006
Does anyone know anything about the rumor on the cococnut wireless this morning that a local radio show said that there is a 1/3 credit for using hurricane hangers/clips/ etc for Hurricane preparedness?
Cant seem to find any info to substantiate this rumor but it is one that might be valuable to know about.

Was this radio show sponsored by Simpson?

i read about it in the paper the other day, can't remember which one, the state would reimburse the owner up to a third of the costs for hurricane (proofing?)your home
RE: Credit for Hurricane preparedness? - Kapohocat - 09-23-2006
I dont know answers to any of the questions but... my guess is yes Simpson would be behind it, and 1/3 referred to 1/3 of the cost of the Simspson.
What I am still trying to find is where to get the rebate info / or any info on exactly how it does work. I will try the Tribune Herald...

I read that article a few days ago, and my fuzzy memory seems to recall that the credit was for retrofitting existing homes, not for new construction. Anybody got a link to the article?
Cheers,
Jerry

yea was actually on the 5 news last nite, and i came in at the very end and missed the details, but it did say retro-fitting which i took to be existing construction. i think the news station has a website that might have the details..

The adminastration will also release $2million from the hurricane relief fund, approved by lawmakers last session, to reimburse homeowners up to 35 percent-or a maximum of $2,100-of the cost of installing wind resistant protection to their homes.

Getting closer to the info...
...State lawmakers this year passed a bill (SB690) over Gov. Linda Lingle's veto that includes a 35 percent cash grant to help homeowners pay for repairs that would hurricane-harden an existing home, including investment in residential safe rooms, hurricane clips, window and door protective storm panels, better anchoring, or a higher wind-resistant level of roofing and reroofing. Lingle has not yet released money for the program, Peters said...

Found this article on the retrofit grant program while looking for something completly different:
http://pacific.bizjournals.com/pacific/stories/2006/09/18/daily64.html
Only I couldn't get the state link to work, so I searched the state site and found this:
http://www.hawaii.gov/dcca/areas/ins/consumer/consumer_information/Hurricane_Retrofits_Program
that has all of the forms and information.
Aloha, Carey
