WEBINAR: Cal OES Safety Assessment Program
October 30 @ 8:30 am – 4:30 pm
8 HSW Units for AIA Members
Disasters create terrible consequences, forcing people out of their homes into temporary shelters and closing down communities. While productive individuals sit idle in shelters or even move away, local building inspectors struggle to evaluate building safety in hundreds or thousands of damaged structures. Experience in dealing with earthquakes reveals that the number of total inspections due to non-structural damage can be more than three times the number of red-tagged and yellow-tagged buildings.
Threats also exist from other natural and man-made disasters, including floods, hurricanes, and explosions. Most building departments do not have the ability to perform multitudes of such inspections in a short period of time, so a strong need exists to have a cadre of trained professionals available to assist local governments, along with a program to manage this cadre.
The Safety Assessment Program has been used successfully in responding to disasters, such as the Northridge, Napa, and San Simeon earthquakes in California, as well as in response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005. This class will train credentialed persons (licensed civil engineers, architects, or certified building inspectors) to be SAP Evaluators to work in the field posting buildings.
Training Description:
The Safety Assessment Program utilizes volunteers and mutual aid resources to provide professional engineers and architects and certified building inspectors to assist local governments in safety evaluation of their built environment in an aftermath of a disaster. The program is managed by Cal OES with cooperation from professional organizations. SAP produces two resources, SAP Evaluators, described above, and SAP Coordinators, which are local government representatives that coordinate the program.
Objectives:
- Attendees will review protocol for working with and assisting local governments in the aftermath of an emergency.
- Attendees will learn to evaluate building safety in the aftermath of a disaster.
- Attendees (licensed civil engineers, architects, or certified building inspectors) will be trained as credentialed persons to be SAP Evaluators to work in the field posting buildings.
- Attendees will learn how to mentor others on health, safety, welfare evaluations.
