Wind vs. Wave Damage Assessment course expands on our "Sudden Damage" and "Wind Effects" courses, but focuses on hurricanes. We discuss the hurricane formation, types of hurricane-caused damage, and how to differentiate between damage caused by hurricane-induced waves and wind. We use recent case studies like Hurricane Katrina to illustrate inspection techniques and challenges. This is an invaluable educational tool for those working in hurricane affected areas, or seeking to prepare for next hurricane season.
