AAWE WindNet

WindNet is a service of the American Association for Wind Engineering and is intended to promote two-way communication among wind researchers, engineers, government officials, regulators, constructors the public and others who have an interest in achieving wind hazard mitigation and the construction and retrofit of safe and cost effective constructed facilities which serve the needs of our modern society. This service is currently in a very experimental phase in which various communication and information approaches will be explored. Any feedback on ways to make this an effective tool in achieving improved wind hazard mitigation would be welcomed.
