Background Information
The
NIST will study the impacts of Hurricane Maria on
Based on a preliminary reconnaissance to
* Characteristics of the storm hazards, including the pattern, location and cause of injuries and fatalities;
* Performance of emergency communications systems and the public's response to such communications; and
* Performance of representative critical buildings and designated safe areas in those buildings, including their dependence on infrastructure (e.g., electricity and water).
Additionally, the National Windstorm Impact Reduction Program (NWIRP) was established by
The purpose of this requirement is to develop a much more sophisticated forensic wind field model for Hurricane Maria.
Basis for Sole Source
Although
One of NIST's main requirements in the Hurricane Maria technical investigation is to compare the best estimates of wind speeds experienced during Maria to the design wind speeds required by the building code. It is imperative that NIST uses the same hurricane model in the forensic work that was used to create the design wind speed maps to ensure continuity and consistency in data comparison.
The Government, through both NIST and
