Hurricanes
cause significant wind and water damage, yet economic research primarily
focuses on the latter due to data limitations. We overcome this problem by analyzing
photographs taken after Hurricane Irma (2017) to locate blue-tarped homes. Using
a regression discontinuity framework, we find the 2001 Florida Building Code impacted
wind risk for over 500,000 homeowners. Adopters were 22% less likely to
experience wind damage and saw a 27% reduction in damage severity. Unrepaired
properties also sold for 13.3% ($29,400) less and were harder to sell,
underscoring the importance of building codes in mitigating risk and promoting
climate change adaptation.
