For buildings located in hurricane-prone regions where the design wind speed is 100 mph or greater, FM Global recommends to its insurers that acceptance of and final payment for most new membrane roof systems be based on satisfactory completion of a field uplift test. In the U.S., this recommendation applies along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts and in American Samoa, Guam, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
