ASCE's Committee on Critical Infrastructure (CCI) is pleased to sponsor the disaster management training workshop, Post-Disaster Safety Evaluations, in cooperation with California Office of Emergency Services (OES) and Applied Technology Council (ATC). The workshop will focus on ATC materials, including ATC-20: Procedures for Postearthquake Safety Evaluation of Buildings and ATC-45: Safety Evaluation of Buildings After Wind Storms and Floods. The procedures were developed to evaluate the safety of buildings and other infrastructure systems after earthquakes, winds, floods, and fire. The procedures and guidelines are written specifically for volunteer engineers, as well as building inspectors and municipal engineers, who would be required to make on-the-spot evaluations and decisions regarding the continued entry, use, operation, and occupancy of damaged buildings and other facilities.
The registration fees for the workshop is as follows:
$75 for ASCE members before March 31, 2008 and $100 for ASCE member onsite registrations (after March 31, 2008); and
$100 for non-members before March 31, 2008 and $125 for non-member onsite registrations (after March 31, 2008).
Registration fees include all workshop materials, networking breaks, and lunch. Participants possessing a U.S. Professional Engineer’s license will be eligible to be registered as California Office of Emergency Services (OES) Safety Assessment Program (SAP) Evaluators. Participants completing the entire training will earn 6.0 Professional Development Hours (PDHs). For additional information, contact Catherine Tehan at ctehan@asce.org.
