This book was released on 2019 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After Hurricane Michael, the University of Florida in coordination with several other groups mounted a coordinated response to identify the major damage caused, assess the intensity of the wind speeds, and storm surge that created the damage. The effort involved field assessment by door-to-door inspections of structures, use of unmanned aerial vehicles, vehicle-mounted panoramic cameras, and comparing with existing geolocated photographs of conditions before the event. The extent of the assessments included Panama City Beach, Panama City and surrounding communities, Mexico Beach, Port St. Joe, Apalachicola, a few routes out to barrier islands in the region, and the inland communities of Blountstown and Marianna.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Florida Building Commission retained the University of Florida to conduct a damage survey and document hurricane-related damage to residential structures caused by the 2017 Hurricane Irma. We were tasked to assess the impact of the Florida Building Code (FBC) on residential building performance. The FBC was first enacted on 1 March 2002, and so we analyzed our database in two categories; houses built BEFORE, and houses built AFTER 1 March 2002. In our report, we designate these categories as pre-2002 and post-2001 respectively. The research team inspected over 800 single-family houses from the Florida Keys to Jacksonville, FL, cataloguing effects of strong winds and storm surge on these structures. As a part of our study, we conducted interviews of homeowners to determine the extent of interior damage and losses, and homeowner response and behavior to evacuation and approach to recovery.

Book Synopsis Summary Report on Building Performance - 2004 Hurricane Season (FEMA 490) by : Federal Emergency Agency
Download or read book Summary Report on Building Performance - 2004 Hurricane Season (FEMA 490) written by Federal Emergency Agency and published by FEMA. This book was released on 2013-04-26 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nation will remember 2004 as a record-setting year in terms of presidential disaster declarations and administered disaster aid. In 2004, President Bush issued 68 disaster declarations of which 27 were due to hurricanes. Time and again the U.S. was impacted by hurricane force winds and waves that damaged cities and small towns in 15 states, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Of all the regions that endured the hurricane season, the State of Florida bore the brunt of the record-setting storms as Hurricanes Charley, Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne tested the federal and state fortitude in disaster response and recovery. Communities were devastated as wind and water damage from the four storms battered residential, commercial, industrial, and public facilities. Disaster assistance totaling more than $4.4 billion was approved for Floridians, and to date, 1.24 million storm victims have applied for federal and state assistance (FEMA 2005b). The financial impact of the season will likely exceed $20 billion, according to preliminary loss estimates from the Insurance Services Office's Property Claim Services (PCS). The four hurricanes that struck Florida in 2004 were all significant events; however, the hurricanes were each distinctive in terms of their wind and water action and resulting damages. The first of these, Charley (designated a Category 4), was the first design level wind event to strike the U.S. mainland since Hurricane Andrew (1992) and caused more wind damage than flood damage. Frances (Category 2) and Jeanne (Category 3), while not as strong as Charley, were still very damaging hurricanes resulting in additional wind damage. Hurricane Ivan delivered not only strong winds (Category 3), but also caused significant flood damage to buildings and other structures, even those built above the 100-year flood elevation. The impact of the four hurricanes was intensified by their back-to-back occurrence; three of the hurricanes followed similar paths or had overlapping damage swaths. Frances and Jeanne followed almost identical paths across Florida from the east coast (around Port St. Lucie) to the west coast (north of Tampa area). These two very wide storms crossed the path of Charley (which traveled west to east) in central Florida creating an overlap of impacted areas in Orange, Osceola, Polk, and Hardee counties. As a result of these overlapping impact swaths, damage resulting from the later hurricanes (Frances and Jeanne) was difficult to distinguish from earlier damage caused by Charley. For instance, roofs that failed during Frances or Jeanne may have been weakened or damaged by Charley and more prone to failure. For this reason, most of the recommendations and conclusions contained in this report are based on observations made after Hurricanes Charley and Ivan and are supported by observations made after Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne. Following Hurricanes Charley and Ivan, the FEMA Mitigation Assessment Teams (MATs) performed field observations to determine how well buildings in Florida and Alabama performed under stresses caused by the storms' wind and water impacts. A Rapid Response Data Collection Team performed field observations after Hurricane Frances that focused on critical and essential facilities; however an assessment was not performed after Jeanne, because Jeanne and Frances impacted a similar region. Overall, the MAT observed building performance success in structural systems designed and built after Hurricane Andrew. This Summary Report focuses on the ongoing need for improvement in building performance.

Download or read book Engineering Investigations of Hurricane Damage written by Jens Metzger and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-07-17 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a hurricane or tropical storm strikes, civil engineers are often called upon to investigate the resulting damage to structures. One of the common assignments is to distinguish between wind damage and water damage. This task can be complex, requiring expertise in structural engineering, historic building codes, construction practices, wind forces, and water/wave forces, as well as familiarity with meteorology. The engineer may be asked to provide a rational estimate of the extent of wind damage to a structure that was subsequently destroyed by water. This publication provides civil engineers with the background and guidance necessary to conduct engineering damage investigations of structures following hurricanes, focusing particularly on distinguishing between wind damage and water damage.

Book Synopsis Hurricane Elena, Gulf Coast by : National Research Council
Download or read book Hurricane Elena, Gulf Coast written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1991-02-01 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hurricane Elena, following an erratic and difficult-to-forecast course along an unusually large section of the Gulf Coast, posed special problems from New Orleans, Louisiana, to Sarasota, Florida, well before it came ashore on September 2, 1985. Considerable wind damage occurred in this area to structures that were ostensibly designed to resist such extreme wind conditions. Because similar design conditions and building control procedures exist along other U.S. hurricane-prone coasts, the conclusions drawn in this detailed book catalog the structural damage caused by the hurricane and emergency response actions, establish the wind conditions of the storm, review in-depth the building control process used in the area, and conduct necessary structural and wind tunnel tests relevant to a large number of communities along the coastal areas.

Book Synopsis Hurricane Sandy in New Jersey and New York by : Mitigation Assessment Team (United States. Federal Emergency Management Agency)
Download or read book Hurricane Sandy in New Jersey and New York written by Mitigation Assessment Team (United States. Federal Emergency Management Agency) and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On October 29, 2012, Hurricane Sandy made landfall on the East Coast of the United States. Hurricane Sandy was the deadliest and most destructive hurricane of the 2012 Atlantic Hurricane Season and the third-costliest hurricane in United States history. Hurricane Sandy made landfall near Brigantine, NJ, as a 1,000-mile-wide post-tropical cyclone. It had an estimated sustained wind speed of 80 miles per hour and a minimum pressure of 945 millibars. Although the wind speed was on the lower end of a Category 1 hurricane, the pressure was typical of a Category 3 hurricane. Hurricane Sandy approached the East Coast at a perpendicular angle and coincided with a spring high tide that was higher than normal because of a full moon. All of these factors combined to generate a massive surge that caused flooding and wind damage in 24 states across the northeastern and mid-Atlantic United States. New Jersey and New York were the most severely damaged. Nearly 2 million energy users lost power, contributing to the widespread impact of the storm. Total economic losses across the United States from Hurricane Sandy are estimated to be $50 billion. In response to Hurricane Sandy, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) deployed a Mitigation Assessment Team (MAT) to evaluate damage from the hurricane, document observations, and based on these, offer conclusions and recommendations on the performance of buildings and other structures affected by flood and wind forces. The MAT included FEMA Headquarters and Regional Office engineers, representatives from other Federal agencies, local government officials, academia, and experts from the design and construction industry. The conclusions and recommendations in this report are intended to provide decision makers, designers, contractors, planners, code officials, industry groups, government officials, academia, homeowners, and business owners and operators with information and technical guidance that can be used to reduce future hurricane damage.
