Seminar topics will include information useful for homeowners remodeling or rebuilding after hurricanes Katrina and Rita, as well as for homeowners who just want to strengthen their homes.
Attendees will learn what to do to keep their roofs intact during high winds and how to experience less structure damage in future floods, as well as how to reduce damage from wind-driven rain.

“We have designed a program to help homeowners learn how to incorporate flood-, wind- and rain-resistance features into their homes as they re-roof, restore walls or do other remodeling,” said Pat Skinner, head of the LSU AgCenter's disaster recovery and mitigation team. “We encourage homeowners to come out and take advantage of this opportunity and learn how to build safer, stronger and smarter.”
