Registration for the WAsafe Building Safety Evaluations (ATC20/45 Plus) training is now available. The training is scheduled for October 28, 2026, at Centerplace Event Center in Spokane Valley, WA.
This course covers the basics of building safety evaluations for a variety of hazards, based on building safety evaluation programs for earthquakes, windstorms, and floods (ATC-20 & ATC-45), using examples from real events. The class also covers response to landslides, fires, and other hazards. Participants will also be introduced to the statewide process for volunteer emergency worker enrollment and dispatching being coordinated through WAsafe. Taking the course is one of the requirements for those who wish to enroll in the WAsafe program, or for those whose enrollment are expiring and wish to renew.
The class is appropriate for any building department staff and design professionals, as well as newcomers to emergency response and those who just need a 5-year refresher. This class will help you develop the knowledge and skills to prepare for and respond to a damaging event.
