Forty percent of the hurricanes that strike the United States hit the state of Florida. That’s why building codes in Florida are updated to account for the damaging effects of hurricane-force winds. In this episode you’ll learn what goes into making buildings more hurricane-ready.
In part 2 of this series focused on hurricanes and natural disasters, we hear from Angie Lindsey, point of contact for the Extension Disaster Education Network (EDEN), and Kurtis Gurley, professor and director in the University of Florida’s Engineering School of Sustainable Infrastructure & Environment (ESSIE). These guests will inform us about available resources related to hurricane preparedness, building codes and hurricane research being conduct at the University of Florida’s Powell Family Structure and Materials Laboratory.
