One other comment I'd like to add here. I was going to just overlook it for the obvious reason of not going into verbal gymnastics with another poster…but with respect I wish to address of few of these and be true to the facts....

ALL if not MOST hurricane shutters today have quick release systems for egress codes. No one should die in a fire unless you hire an unlicensed, uninformed contractor who does not follow codes. It's simply not an issue. If you read 'storm stoppers' threads please note that these shutters in question did NOT have any egress systems - a violation of code and possibly criminal. Even storm panels have egress systems today.

The other comment that there is a 3rd choice on your insurance mitigations forms and that choice is "ASTM E 1886 and ASTM E 1996 (Missile Level C.) is correct.
But… without confirmation (testing and code compliance) no certified licensed mitigation inspector would check this box without committing fraud. To sign off on this form an inspector would require PROOF that the products in question MEET the very protocols of intended use. Thus you need a FBC number to check that box or any other box on this mitigation form other then - none.
