WIND SPEED TRIGGERS <br />The geographic area within the hurricane prone region per ASCE 7-05 and ASCE 7-10 are <br />shown in Figure 2. It can be seen that the geographic area for hurricane prone regions is reduced <br />in portions Of the SOLItheast including Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, and Mississippi. The <br />wind speed trigger in ASCE 7-10 for hurricane prone regions is 1] 5 mph from. Risk Category 11 <br />maps and represents an algebraic conversion of the 90 mph wind speed trigger in ASCE 7-05. <br />Revised wind speed triggers for wind-borne debris regions do not follow the same conversion <br />and exclusive linkage to wind speed maps for Risk Category 11. A comparison of these flew <br />values and revised definitions is provided in Table 4. <br />Figure 2.
