When Disaster Strikes (Online Live CLA)

All too often before and after a disaster, an affected community is left on its own to struggle with preparing to respond to the event and then assessing and dealing with its damage. When assessments are not conducted quickly, a community’s residents will reoccupy potentially unsafe structures. Small scale localized events can often be handled by local building departments. However, in a large scale and/or large regional disaster, local building departments are unable to meet the demand and often unable to provide these valuable assessments. The ICC Disaster Response Inspector Program is aimed at training and certifying qualified professionals to assist with performing Post-Disaster Building Safety Evaluations. It also discusses the NIMS credentialing process whereby properly trained and qualified Post-Disaster Building Safety Evaluators can be prequalified and rostered. By properly training and pre-qualifying a pool of individuals building officials are better able to jump start recovery..
