The DART course is to help front-line first responders and emergency management personnel to recognize and assess an unmanned aircraft event for a potential threat, and to give basic awareness of how to assess and mitigate that threat. Participants will gain the knowledge and tools necessary to detect, identify, track, assess, mitigate and respond to […]
venue: Virtual DESCRIPTION: This training introduces earthquake-resistant design concepts and their context within the building regulatory process. Participants will learn earthquake hazard fundamentals, how current building codes approach earthquake risk, new concepts that could impact future seismic provisions, key design features for earthquake resistance, and seismic vulnerabilities of common structure types. Audience: Architects, building officials, […]
Venue: Virtual DESCRIPTION: This training covers methods and processes that enable personnel to rapidly identify, inventory, and screen local buildings according to their expected safety and usability during and after earthquakes. Local officials can use these data to plan and prioritize further engineering and vulnerability analysis, emergency-response needs, and mitigation projects. Audience: Building officials, engineers, […]
Venue: Virtual DESCRIPTION: This training provides instruction on rapid and detailed evaluation procedures for evaluating earthquake-damaged buildings and posting them as INSPECTED (apparently safe, green placard), LIMITED ENTRY (yellow placard), or UNSAFE (red placard). The web-based training provides examples that allow attendees to evaluate building damage conditions, assess the overall risk from the damage, and […]
Venue: Virtual DESCRIPTION: This training guides the participant through a simplified procedure for seismic assessment for detached single-family wood-frame dwellings and provides guidance on how to retrofit the most common seismic deficiencies. Audience: Building owners, building officials, home inspectors, design professionals, home builders, emergency planners, insurers, and lenders. Email Training Officer for more information.
Venue: Virtual Description: This training provides an overview of existing procedures for post-disaster building safety evaluations and issues related to structural safety and habitability. Guidance is also presented on planning, managing, and implementing safety evaluation programs before and after a disaster incident. Audience: Architects, engineers, and building officials directly involved in post-disaster building safety evaluation. […]
Venue: Virtual DESCRIPTION: This training provides an overview of the building code as it pertains to earthquake effects on buildings. It underlines the importance of code adoption and enforcement. Audience: Building officials, building contractors, decision makers, emergency managers, and other stakeholders interested in seismic safety. (Note: Engineers and building professionals who are interested in communicating […]
Private non-profits and government organizations seeking Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) public assistance funding can learn more about how to apply at informational briefings this month on Maui and online. The disaster declaration covering the August 2023 wildfires in Hawai‘i authorizes Public Assistance funding to reimburse and pay for protective measures and hazard mitigation, including […]
Venue: Virtual DESCRIPTION: This free, web-based training provides a methodology to identify and retrofit specific vulnerabilities in wood light-frame dwellings. Wood light-frame residential buildings represent the most common type of dwelling in the United States. Although this type of construction in one- and two-family configurations has generally provided good performance in past earthquakes, there are […]
Venue: Virtual Description: This training describes the sources and types of nonstructural earthquake damage and the effective methods and guidance that individuals and organizations can use to take action now before the next earthquake and minimize future injuries and property losses from nonstructural risks. Nonstructural components of buildings include all elements that are not part […]
