Natural Hazard Threat and Vulnerability Assessment

ARA has pioneered the development of advanced tools to assess the threat of physical damage and economic loss produced by severe windstorms such as hurricanes, tornadoes, thunderstorms, and extra-tropical cyclones and related hazards such as storm surge, waves, and coastal flooding. Our physics-based approach integrates climatological models, local conditions, structure response, and debris translation.

We perform analyses and provide protective solutions for individual facilities as well as entire portfolios. Facility evaluations range from private homes to commercial buildings to power plants to large industrial complexes.

ARA performs wind certification inspections of houses and buildings in the state of Florida that qualify many home and building owners for insurance discounts. If you are interested in learning more about our wind certification surveys, click here.
