Hurricane Opal made landfall on Santa Rosa Island, in Santa Rosa County, Florida, near Navarre Beach on October 4, 1995. Fifteen counties in the Florida Panhandle were declared Federal disaster areas. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) deployed a Building Performance Assessment Team (BPAT) whose mission was to evaluate structural damage and recommend mitigation measures that will enhance the performance of buildings in future storms. The BPAT's observations focused on the performance of buildings during the hurricane, including both successes and failures. These observations and the BPAT's recommendations are documented in this report. The BPAT's observations regarding flood and wind damage caused by the storm are described in detail, and recommendations are presented regarding design and construction of new structures and substantial improvements to existing structures; permitting, plan review, and inspection; construction materials; and repair and retrofit of damaged structures.

... The goal of the investigation and study was to determine the approximate high water elevation of the storm surge and combined storm surge and wave runup in the open coastal and inland bay areas affected by Hurricane Opal. The establishment of a wind and water line documents the inundation limits of the storm surge flooding and areas subject to flooding and wind damages or losses ... The high water marks observed and surveyed for this report throughout the Hurricane Opal impact area reflect either the stillwater elevation of the storm surge (areas outside the influence of breaking wave and wave runup) of the stillwater elevation plus the wave runup component (areas in the swash wave zone - either breaking waves or wave run-up ...

Experience at the Federal, State, and local levels during natural disasters, along with a growing body of research, has demonstrated that the losses from such events, in terms of life, property, and community resources, can be substantially reduced when mitigation techniques and technologies are applied. This report illustrates the comparative benefits and costs associated with the implementation of a variety of mitigation measures by governments and private sector entities. It identifies, through a series of case studies, the mitigation tools used to achieve cost-effective hazard mitigation benefits.
