Observations from hundreds of inspections conducted from the Northeast to the Southeast to the Southwest of Florida will be shared. Register now for "Hurricane Irma | Lessons Learned," taking place at 11:30 a.m. Eastern on Thurs., Sept. 27. This complimentary presentation is sponsored by AAMA's Southeast Region and is open to the public.

"The takeaways from the aftermath of Hurricane Irma are even more important now in the midst of another storm season," said Dean Ruark, president of the AAMA Southeast Region and director of product management at PGT Innovations. "We are committed to getting the latest possible information out to our membership about how to best prepare in the future."

"AAMA knows hurricane preparedness is a critical issue to those in the industry," said Janice Yglesias, AAMA's executive vice president.
