D . The EOC and essential ancillary structures and equipment shall be designed to resist the effects of a major hurricane . The wind design load requirements shall be in accordance with the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE ) Standard 7 , Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures. The minimum wind design criteria shall include : Design Wind Speed = 200 miles per hour ( 3 second gust) Wind Importance Factor, I = 1 . 00 Exposure Category = C Directionality Factor, Kd = 1 . 00 Internal Pressure Coefficient , GCpi = +/_ 0 . 18 All components and cladding assemblies necessary to maintain a structurally enclosed condition and prevent rainwater intrusion shall be designed to meet the wind design criteria . Structural metal decking and cladding materials shall be 22 gauge or thicker. Roof cover waterproofing barriers shall meet the wind design criteria . Loose aggregate roof ballast shall not be used on the roof cover. Rooftop equipment shall be designed and installed to meet the wind design criteria . E . The EOC and essential ancillary structures and equipment shall resist penetration by windborne debris impact. At a minimum , all exterior enclosure components , claddings and assemblies ( i . e . , walls , roofs , louvers , windows , doors , etc. ) located within 60 feet in height above finish grade shall meet the hurricane windborne debris impact criteria specified in the Department of Energy ' s ( DOE ) Standard , Natural Phenomena Hazards Design and Evaluation Criteria , DOE- STD- 1020-2002 . That is , the building enclosure must resist penetration by a nominal 2 "x4 " lumber plank weighing 15 pounds propelled at 50 miles per hour striking end -on and normal to the assembly surface . As applicable , impact test procedures shall be consistent with recognized state and national standards ; such as , SBCCI Test Standard for Determining Impact Resistance from Windborne Debris SSTD 12 , American Society of Testing and Materials ( ASTM ) Standards ASTM E 1886 and ASTM E 1996 , and Florida Building Code Testing Protocols TAS 201 , TAS 202 and TAS 203 . F . The minimum design elevation of the lowest floor for the EOC and essential ancillary structures and equipment shall be located outside of or elevated above : Category 5 storm surge elevation , the 500- year flood plain ( if determined ) , or the base flood elevation plus two feet , whichever is greater. G . The following information related to wind loads and flooding shall be shown on the construction drawings : 1 . wind design per ASCE 7 with applicable year of revision , 2 . design wind speed , 3 . wind importance factor, 4 . design wind exposure , 5 . design internal pressure coefficient , 6 . design wind pressures in terms of pounds per square foot ( psf) to be used for the design of exterior component and cladding materials not specifically designed by the principal licensed design professional , 7 . windborne debris impact performance criteria , and 8 . finish floor elevation with comparison reference to the Category 5 storm surge elevation , 500-year flood elevation ( if determined ) , and the base flood elevation . H . The EOC shall be designated as a threshold building ( s ) , and special structural inspections required . Special inspections shall be conducted in compliance with section 553 . 79 , Florida Statutes and other applicable statutes , laws and rules . I . The EOC and essential ancillary structures and equipment shall be designed for a minimum of 72 hours of self-contained continuous operation and shall not be solely reliant upon off-site utilities ( e . g . , water, natural gas fuel , electricity , telecommunication and information technologies , etc . ) The design shall ensure that the EOC is equipped with survivable communications to receive and distribute warnings , and ensure connectivity with other EOCs , the State Warning Point , adjacent jurisdictions , and key response and recovery agencies and organizations . J . Force protection and security measures shall be consistent with the guidance published in Florida ' s Homeland Security Comprehensive Assessment Model ( HLSCAM ) , United States Air Force 19
