Here in the Pacific Northwest, we experience wildfires and flooding every year, and we live with the looming risk of "the Big One" -- a potentially significant earthquake. To be ready to respond following a major natural disaster, the WAsafe Building Safety Evaluations (ATC 20/45 Plus) training was developed. This class will cover the basics of post-disaster building safety evaluations following hazards, such as earthquakes, windstorms, landslides, and fires, with emphasis on risks specific to Washington State. Training is based on the internationally recognized ATC-20 (post-earthquake) and ATC-45 (post-windstorms and floods) programs, using examples from real events.

Students will be introduced to WAsafe, the Washington State program that organizes and trains engineers, architects, and other construction industry professionals to assist local jurisdictions in determining whether buildings are safe to occupy following a major disaster. The class will cover the statewide process for volunteer emergency worker enrollment and dispatch through the WAsafe program.

This training is one of the requirements for those who wish to enroll in the WAsafe program. It can also substitute for the online renewal course for those whose enrollments are expiring and want to renew. The course is eligible for 7.0 PDHs.
