May is Building Safety Month. This year’s campaign, “It Starts with You,” reinforces the need for the adoption of modern, regularly updated building codes. The International Code Council (ICC) is sharing educational materials throughout the month, with weekly themes to help individuals, families and businesses understand what it takes to create safe and sustainable structures.
We are now in Week 2 of Building Safety Month. This week’s theme is “Building Safety Professionals and You.” This week, the ICC is emphasizing the important role that building safety professionals such as building officials, plans examiners, permit technicians, fire marshals and others, play in keeping the nation’s homes, schools and businesses safe. For week 2 of Building Safety Month, the ICC has posted a series of posters, fact sheets, and social media materials that can be used to educate others about the importance of code officials in keeping buildings safe.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is also observing Building Safety Month with steps the public can take to make their homes safer and stronger. Modern building codes ensure that your home is safe not just on blue sky days, but also built using the latest practices and standards to protect against natural disasters like earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, and wildfires. This month, FEMA is highlighting www.InspectToProtect.org. Anyone can use this resource to find the current building codes adopted in their local area, the kinds of modifications they can make to make their home safer and stronger, whether their code is up to date, and their community’s disaster history.
Emergency managers, building code officials, and policymakers can also benefit from FEMA’s Building Science resources, which provide tools for hazard mitigation stakeholders to create more disaster-resilient communities and reduce loss of life and property through the adoption of modern building codes.
Building Safety Month 2022 will focus on building resiliency, protecting our potable water supply, building safety careers and disaster mitigation.
