Deployable Structure Shield

A readily deployable shield for single family dwellings and other structures protects the structures from transient, temporary threats such as fire, hurricane, tornado or similar forces. The deployable structure shield is delivered to a structure site in an enclosed shield module. The enclosed shield module may be permanently or temporarily secured to the roof of the structure to be protected. The shield module includes the shield canopy, an energy generator, a compressor, control electronics, one or more deployment catapults, sandbags, lanyards, tie-down straps, and a manual deployment apparatus. Once secured to the roof of a structure, the shield canopy may be deployed manually with the manual deployment apparatus, or remotely using the control electronics and any suitable initiation apparatus such as a smartphone.
