SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
response to the tornado that impacted
Joplin, Missouri on May 22, 2011 (Joplin
tornado), the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) sent
four engineers to the area to conduct a
preliminary reconnaissance to conduct
an initial assessment of the event to
assist the NIST Director in determining
whether a full technical investigation of
the event was warranted. Based on the
analysis of the data collected and other
pertinent information, the NIST Director
established a Team under the
authorities of the National Construction
Safety Team (NCST) Act (15 U.S.C. 7301
et seq.) on June 29, 2011 to conduct a
detailed technical investigation. The
establishment of the NCST Team was
announced in the Federal Register on
July 19, 2011 (76 FR 42683).
The investigation objectives were:
1. Determine the tornado hazard
characteristics and associated wind
fields in the context of historical data.
2. Determine the response of
residential, commercial, and critical
buildings, including the performance of
designated safe areas.
3. Determine the performance of
lifelines as it relates to the continuity of
operations of residential, commercial,
and critical buildings.
4. Determine the pattern, location,
and cause of fatalities and injuries, and
associated emergency communications
and public response.
5. Identify, as specifically as possible,
areas in current building, fire, and
emergency communications codes,
standards, and practices that warrant
revision.
The draft report outlines 47 findings
related to the May 22, 2011, Joplin
tornado and concludes with a list of 16
recommendations for action in areas of
improved measurement and
characterization of tornado hazards,
new methods for tornado resistant
design of buildings, enhanced guidance
for community tornado sheltering, and
improved and standardized emergency
communications.

investigation report should submit their
comments as instructed above. NIST

may revise the report based on such
