Checklist - To add extra protection against hurricanes when you re-roof your home:

• Use a solid plywood roof deck at least 5/8-inch thick.
• Select a roof covering with a high wind rating and long life span.
• Install roofing felt between deck and covering to help water drainage.
• Add self-adhesive strips between joints in roof decks to prevent seepage.
• Install hurricane clips to attach the roof deck to the home's walls.
