The Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety has released an update to its Rating the States report, which looks at building codes of the hurricane-prone states from Texas to Maine. 

"This update provides each state a useful analysis of their latest building code activities and what steps they can take to better protect their communities. It also gives interested citizens useful information so that they can understand the need for, and demand, better building codes," says Julie Rochman, IBHS president and CEO. 

IBHS plans to release a new report in 2015, so the nonprofit research organization is billing this report as "midterm update."
