ATC-45, Safety Evaluation of Buildings

After Windstorms and Floods Training Notice

Program: ATC-45, Safety Evaluation of Buildings After Windstorms and Floods Training

By: Edwin T. Huston, PE, SE, Vice President, Smith & Huston, Inc., Consulting Engineers

In the immediate aftermath of a disaster, structures need to be evaluated to determine whether they are safe to enter. ATC evaluation procedures are the internationally recognized standard for performing these post-disaster building safety assessments. This program is a must for structural engineers, architects, building officials, plan reviewers and building inspectors committed to using their unique professional skills to assist following a catastrophic event. The ATC Field Manual provides guidelines and procedures for conducting post-windstorm and post-flood building safety evaluations. The purpose of these evaluations is to determine whether damaged or potentially damaged buildings are safe for use, or if entry should be restricted or prohibited. The Field Manuals give advice on evaluating structural, geotechnical, and nonstructural risks, and advice on how to rate the safety significance of certain types of damage. In addition, the Manuals cover related topics of interest to safety personnel, including how to deal with owners and occupants of damaged buildings, and field safety issues.
