Durham’s Weather-ready Home Assessment Service is a free and comprehensive evaluation of residents’ homes to assess their readiness for extreme weather events, including extreme heat and cold, flooding, and windstorms. This assessment identifies potential vulnerabilities in a home’s structure, landscaping, and critical systems.

This program is open to homeowners, landlords, and tenants.

Although on-site assessments are no longer available to new applicants, remote assessments are still available.

About Remote Assessments

• Assessments have a 60-minute duration.
• Participants use our mobile form to take and submit photos of required features around their property and in the basement of their home.
• A video call is scheduled between the assessor and resident to review photos and complete the assessment.
