(NAPS)—As the cli- mate changes, rough weather—tornadoes, hail- storms and the like—that used to trouble single areas of the country now occur in places that never expected to see them. The Problem Consider these statis- tics: • Rain: Over the last 50 years, much of the United States has seen increases in downpours, reports the National Climate Assess- ment Federal Advisory Committee. The heaviest rainfall events have be- come denser and more frequent, and the amount of rain falling during the stormiest days has also increased. Since 1991, the amount of rain falling has consistently been signifi - cantly above average. • Hail: While hail has been most common in the “hail belt” covering the Midwest and Great Plains states, it is increasingly occurring in other parts of the country, just as torna- does are not confi ned to “tornado alley” between the Rocky and the Appa- lachian Mountains. Hail- storms infl ict billions of dollars in damage yearly in North America, and the cost will continue to rise, according to Insurance Journal. Last year was the 11 th year in a row in which the damage from severe storms exceeded $1 bil- lion in the United States, and 70 percent of that cost came from hail, ex- plained Ian Giammanco, a research meteorologist for the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety. The Cost Between 2011 and 2017, 84 extreme weath- er events in the United States caused at least $1 billion each in dam- age. Although damage from extreme weather of one kind or another can gen- erally be felt all across the country—you can take measures to help protect your home and family. What You Can Do 1. Look out for your windows and doors. Get storm windows and con- sider storm shutters. 2. Check for cracks. Make sure the building envelope is intact and there are no holes in the walls or around the win- dows and doors. In high- wind storm events, holes in the building envelope can result in sudden pres- sure equalization that can lift off the roof. 3. Clean out clogged gutters and downspouts regularly. 4. Prevent damage from fl ying objects. Re- move all dead and dying limbs from your trees, and secure lawn furni- ture, trash cans, fl ower- pots, sheds, doghouses, playhouses, swing sets and boats before severe storms. 5. Ensure there’s seal- ing around any chimneys or vent pipes. 6. Keep your roof in top shape. An effective roof can shield your home from the storm. Accord- ing to a recent Harris poll, while 80 percent of home- owners believe that a roof is important to the overall protection of their house, only 48 percent perform routine maintenance and examinations of the health of their roof. Of course, it’s recommend- ed that roof maintenance should be conducted by hired professionals, rather than by the homeowner for safety reasons. According to a study done by the National Association of Home Builders, an asphalt roof typically lasts up to 20 years if maintained ap- propriately. How- ever, the day will inevitably come when all residential roofs need to be repaired or replaced. When it does, it’s wise to use top-quality shingles designed for per- formance against severe weather. “Severe weather activity further solidi- fi es the need for weather performance, especially wind resistance, in roof- ing shingles,” explains Scott Campbell, vice president of sales—West at IKO, a leading man- ufacturer of residential and commercial roofi ng products. “A roof is the most essential aspect of shelter. It silently endures high winds, hail, heat, cold, moisture and fl ying debris, all while keeping what’s under it safe. If a roof fails, everything un- der it may be at risk of damage.” An increasing number of contractors and home- owners are turning to IKO shingles for superior weather protection. IKO’s Nordic performance lam- inate shingles are engi- neered to provide fi rst-rate pro- tection against wind uplift and water penetration. Their resilient, heavy- weight fi berglass mat is designed for exceptional fl exibility and tear resis- tance. Furthermore, the shingle features a coat- ing of IKO’s proprietary polymer modifi ed asphalt, which means it can act as a shock absorber. To that end, Nordic shingles have earned a Class 4 Impact Resistance rating.1 Additionally, IKO’s Nordic performance shingles derive their strength from ArmourZo- ne TM technology. On the back of each shingle is a tear-resistant woven band designed to help prevent nail pull-through and shingle blow-off. On the front, there’s a 1¼” wide nailing surface that guides roofers to place their nails accurately for improved fastening strength and speedier installation. This line of shingles carries a Standard Limited Wind Resistance Warranty for winds of up to 130 mph. Not only will you feel an unprecedented level of roof protection with IKO, you will also love the way that your roof looks. IKO’s high-defi nition col- or blends create the cov- eted aesthetic and visual texture of real stone tiles or wood shakes, without the associated expense or maintenance worries. No matter what your style of home or person- al taste, you can fi nd just the right profi le and color blend, along with match- ing accessory products, to create a stunning and resilient roofscape. The Future As for what’s to come, according to the Intergov- ernmental Panel on Cli- mate Change, windstorms are likely to become more common and more se- vere. Models project there will be an increase in the number of strong hurri- canes as well as greater rainfall rates. The U.S. Government Account- ability Offi ce predicts the cost to the federal govern- ment for responding to climate-related disasters could reach $35 billion annually by 2050. So, consider today what you need to do to protect your shelter from the storm.
