COMMITTEE SCOPE AND PURPOSE
The scope of work and purpose of the Hurricane Research Advisory
Committee (HRAC) is: to identify and review what research is being conducted
related to building failure issues resulting from high wind events generally,
and recent hurricanes in Florida specifically; to identify any research gaps on
key issues identified from reports and studies but not being researched; to
ensure that the Commission is provided with all relevant research findings on
each of the major issues, prior to the Commission considering code enhancements
resulting from lessons learned; and, to identify any needed Code changes the
Commission should consider for enhancements to the wind and water resistance
provisions of the Florida Building Code.
