When a major storm passes, determining what caused the damage isn’t always simple. Join OCI Group Structural Engineer, Helena Wollman, for a practical one-hour webinar exploring wind and hail damage through real-world case studies. We’ll examine common damage patterns, different types of storm-related files, and the investigative considerations used to assess the cause and extent of the damage. Attendees will also learn what to look for and document in the field, helping them better understand storm-related claims and recognize when further engineering expertise may be required.
