The AIA Seattle Adaptation & Resilience Committee is hosting an in-person, eight-hour training on post-disaster building safety evaluation procedures and WAsafe, Washington State’s program for post-disaster volunteer responders. This program is a must for engineers, architects & building officials committed to using their unique professional skills to assist following a catastrophic event. Participants will learn how to properly assess buildings for safe occupancy following a major earthquake, flood, or wind event. The training incorporates material from ATC-20 (Post-Earthquake Safety Evaluation of Buildings), ATC-45 (Safety Evaluation of Buildings after Windstorms and Floods), and the California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) Safety Assessment Program (SAP). The SAP and ATC evaluation procedures are internationally recognized standards for performing post-disaster building safety assessments.

Intended for Washington state architects, architects-in-training, engineers, and/or certified building inspectors interested in better understanding seismic risks in our region, as well as having the opportunity to assist in recovery efforts.
