Post-Disaster Safety Assessment Program (SAP) Training
Become a registered Safety Assessment Evaluator!
Cal-OES SAP Evaluator Training for post-disaster building Safety Assessment Program (SAP) provides architects, engineers, and building inspectors with the knowledge to provide evaluations of facilities and buildings in the aftermath of a disaster.
Disasters create terrible consequences, forcing people out of their homes into temporary shelters and closing down communities. With SAP trainers able to deploy into an affected area, they can quickly evaluate damaged structures, identifying those that are safe for occupancy, while marking those that are unsafe or have restricted use.
ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANTS:
All building industry professionals are welcome. In addition, the following licensed practitioners will be eligible to perform post-disaster assessments after successfully completing SAP training as certified California Disaster Service Worker:
- Professionally licensed architects (from any state);
- Professionally registered civil, structural, or geotechnical engineers (from any state);
- Professionally registered geologists or engineering geologists;
- ICC and ACIA certified building inspectors or officials and public works inspectors.
