| Building Inspection Resource Deployment Framework |
| There are thousands of individuals in the United States trained in pre/post disaster building inventory and safety inspections. Currently, there is no standardization of the use and deployment of these critical resources following a multi-jurisdictional disaster, within the emergency management structure.
Under the direction of the CUSEC Board of Directors, the CUSEC States are developing a framework to address this issue as a deployable resource under the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC). The initiative will identify opportunities for earthquake mitigation through pre-disaster building assessments. It will include resource typing/Mission Ready Package(s) (MRP) for EMAC post-disaster building inspection team deployments, which will be validated in CAPSTONE-14. Building inspection program/framework areas of emphasis for CAPSTONE-14: – Develop a standardized framework for multi-jurisdictional pre/post earthquake inspection programs – Document the program and resource-typing requirements – Package and type the team(s) for EMAC deployment – Create inspection program best practices guidance – Create program awareness and recruit/train volunteer inspectors – Demonstrate and exercise the program in CAPSTONE-14 CUSEC State Earthquake Program Managers, previously identified State volunteer inspectors, and others as needed, will collaborate with the CUSEC Board on this effort.
