The Mississippi Insurance Department says...

If you provide insurance information at the time you applied for an [wind] inspection and you are eligible for an insurance discount based on the inspection of your home, you will receive a mitigation form completed and signed by the MID-approved inspector who conducted your free wind inspection. Your wind inspection report will give you an estimate of the discounts you might receive on the wind portion of your homeowners insurance premium. Savings will vary depending on the improvements you make.
