As part of its Disaster Risk Reduction Programs, the United States Agency for International Development through the Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (USAID/OFDA) initiated a series of tests in 2012 to evaluate the wind resistance of full-scale transitional shelters (often referred to as t-shelters). This project was carried out at the Florida International University’s International Hurricane Research Center’s (IHRC) and Wall of Wind (WoW) facility in Miami.
