New England has been struck by a number of major snowstorms in the past few years that have resulted in building failures and other catastrophic events. As a result, FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) has prepared a set guidelines for the benefit of property owners, building/facility managers, homeowners, emergency managers and others to use in the event of a snow emergency. The agency prepared a document (see link below) that discusses mitigating damage to roof systems from excessive snow weight. Snow calls are going through the roof as is referenced in this Boston Herald article.
