In response to Hurricane Ivan, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
deployed a Mitigation Assessment Team (MAT) to evaluate and assess damage from the hurricane and provide observations, conclusions, and recommendations on the performance of buildings and other structures impacted by wind and flood forces. The MAT included engineers and other experts from FEMA Headquarters and the Regional Offices and from the design and construction industry. The conclusions and recommendations of this Report are intended to provide decision-makers information and technical guidance that can be used to reduce future hurricane damage.
