あらすじ・解説
In this episode of Disaster Discussions our guest host Dr. Ian Giammanco sits down with Dr. David Roueche from Auburn University to discuss where we are in our effort to reduce the damage caused by extreme winds. The two discuss the success story of the modern building codes used along the hurricane-prone coast but also the lack of progress in areas which primarily deal with the impacts of severe convective storms, including tornadoes. During this Disaster Discussions we also delve into what damage modes in tornadoes are the greatest threat to life safety, how different building attributes can act as damage amplifiers leading to even more damage, and the vulnerability of manufactured and mobile homes to tornadoes.
