The Roofing Industry Committee on Weather Issues, Inc. (RICOWI) was established in 1990 as a non-profit organization to identify and address important technical issues related to the cause of wind damage which include:

• Dynamic testing of roof systems
• Importance of sample size for tests
• Role of wind tunnels and air retarders
• Need for acceptable procedures for ballasted systems
• Field data and response team reports
• General lack of communication within the roofing industry as to what the problems are, what is being done and should be done to alleviate them, and how effectively information is transferred within the roofing industry and to others in the building community
