Week one of Building Safety Month explores planning for a safe and sustainable tomorrow.

The month-long celebration in May includes free educational events open to the public.

The strategy requires the use of current codes across all FEMA programs, and commits to incentivizing adoption and implementation of hazard-resistant codes.

Manning will oversee codes and standards development as well as architectural and engineering services at the Code Council.

The new standard is modeled off the International Code Council's International Property Maintenance Code.

With just five weeks left until the event, ICC encourages communities around the world to get involved early by utilizing free resources.

The new group will promote collaboration among regional experts in the building safety industry in key areas related to training, code and standard development and enforcement, and services in testing, inspection and certification.

Davis will lead ICC's efforts to advocate for safe, affordable, and sustainable construction through the development, adoption, and effective implementation of model codes and standards.

With sponsorship from ASHRAE, the new certification reinforces expertise from both organizations to address solutions in disaster and climate resiliency.
