TARGET AUDIENCE: Building officials, engineers, architects, building owners, emergency managers, risk analysts, and other interested citizens and volunteers.

COURSE DESCRIPTION: FEMA P-154, Rapid Visual Screening of Buildings for Potential Seismic Hazards, Third Edition, provides training on how to identify potentially hazardous buildings before earthquakes occur. The Third Edition was recently completed and covers methods and processes that enable per-sonnel to rapidly identify, inventory, and rank 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.

ATC 20, Postearthquake Safety Evaluation of Buildings, provides training on rapid and detailed evalu-ation procedures for evaluating earthquake-damaged buildings and posting them as INSPECTED (ap-parently safe, green placard), LIMITED ENTRY (yellow placard), or UNSAFE (red placard). It provides examples which allow attendees to evaluate building damage conditions, assess the overall risk from the damage, and recommend which of the three placards should be posted on the building.

COURSE DESCRIPTION: FEMA 154, Rapid Visual Screening of Buildings for Potential Seismic Hazards, provides training on how to identify potentially hazardous buildings before earthquakes occur. The course covers methods and processes that enable personnel to rapidly identify, inventory, and rank 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.

ATC 20, Postearthquake Safety Evaluation of Buildings, provides training 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). It provides examples which allow attendees to evaluate building damage conditions, assess the overall risk from the damage, and recommend which of the three placards should be posted on the building.

Rapid Observation of Vulnerability and Estimation of Risk (ROVER) is software that automates the pa-per-based screening procedures taught in FEMA 154 2nd Edition and ATC-20. Building-specific data are entered into ROVER in the field via smartphones and GPS devices, and are aggregated in a PC-based data server. ROVER features include automated geoloca-tion, integrated digital photography and sketching capabilities, and automated retrieval of site-specific soil and hazard data from USGS maps.

COST: FREE, Materials are provided by FEMA
