RAPID: A Coordinated Structural Engineering Response to Hurricane Irma (in Florida)

Hurricane Irma left a path of considerable destruction across the Caribbean, eventually making its first landfall in the continental US at Cudjoe Key in southern Florida on September 10, 2017, with Category 4 winds reaching 58 m/s (130 mph). The National Hurricane Center downgraded Irma to a Category 3 storm as it made its second landfall later that afternoon on Marco Island, just south of Naples on Florida's Gulf Coast, with sustained winds near 54 m/s (120 mph). It weakened further to a Category 2 once inland as it moved through the northern portions of the state, dropping below hurricane intensity on September 11, 2017. This project contains the data collected during the RAPID reconnaissance efforts organized for Irma's impacts in Florida, noting that separate reconnaissance missions were organized for Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands under this same NSF award, curated through dedicated NHERI DesignSafe projects and linked to one another.
