BECAUSE WE CARE...

we are making our communities more resilient

Resiliency is crucial in the face of changing climate conditions. Extreme wind events, such as hurricanes and tornadoes, can cause severe damage and significantly disrupt families and communities. Working with Team Rubicon, SBP and Smart Home America, Travelers is helping those affected by devastating weather events by rebuilding disaster-impacted communities with FORTIFIED homes, which are better equipped to withstand such disasters.

In September 2024, Hurricane Francine impacted the four homes shown above, illustrating a clear difference in resilience. The two standard construction homes on the left and the right were severely damaged, whereas both SBP FORTIFIED homes in the center remained intact.

BUILDING RESILIENT COMMUNITIES WITH HABITAT FOR HUMANITY

 

To help build stronger, more resilient communities, since 2011, we have joined forces with Habitat for Humanity®, a nonprofit organization that helps families build and improve their homes, and the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) to build affordable, wind-resistant homes to FORTIFIED™ standards throughout the country.
