The Safety Assessment Program (SAP) is the training program developed by Cal OES that provides leadership, advocacy, and training to architects, engineers and certified inspectors who are interested in developing their professional skills for use in times of crisis. This workshop will teach participants to conduct rapid damage assessments of structures affected by earthquakes, wind, and water. It also teaches the appropriate protocol for coordinating with emergency managers to limit professional liability.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to consistently and safely assess structures for habitability and will receive a nationally recognized building evaluator certification from the state of California.
