What is SAH and IBHS?
Strength Alabama Homes (SAH)
SAH provides grants to Alabama residents for residential wind mitigation on existing, owner occupied, single family homes. Funding for this program comes from the insurance industry in Alabama and is not funded from the state’s general budget, nor is it tied to a federally funded program.
Institute for Business and Homes Saftey (IBHS)
IBHS was formed by the property-casualty insurance industry in 1977 to help coordinate emerging property insurance plans under the name of National Committee on Property Insurance (NCPI). In 2010, the unique, IBHS Research Center came to life to advance the scientific understanding of severe weather perils and their interaction with the homes and businesses at real scale. In 2011, the organization became what it is today when “Insurance” was added back to the name—Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety—so that IBHS members might receive full public credit for the Institute’s work.
