The best way to protect a home against a hurricane is to have a solid foundation, and a strong structure. So, if your house is made of concrete, it is not going to stand a chance against a hurricane. But if your house is made of wood, you can feel the house going side to side or making weird sounds since the wind is battling it. Also, you should have roof and siding and windows that are properly secured, and not loose so that wind doesn’t knock them out or rain doesn’t start leaking. These are important factors that extend the life of your home but also help in protecting your house against a hurricane.
