This workshop focuses on the initial damage assessment of residential dwellings, businesses, and public infrastructure performed generally by personnel from the building, code compliance/enforcement, and public works departments. These are the persons called upon after windstorms, hurricanes, and floods to determine the extent of damage and whether damaged buildings are safe for occupancy. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) standard forms will be discussed in detail. Windshield surveys, on-the-ground surveys, posting procedures, types of damage, and maintaining the safety of the field inspectors are some of the subjects to be covered. Finally, even human factors such as dealing with the owners of damaged property and coping with the stress of performing damage assessment following a catastrophic event will be discussed.
