Purpose. School buildings in many U.S. states and territories are vulnerable to earthquake damage that threatens safety and continued operations. This webinar teaches participants how to: (1) assess and analyze seismic risks typical to school buildings; (2) develop actionable plans for reducing and managing these risks; (3) secure nonstructural components in school facilities; and (4) implement incremental seismic rehabilitation as an affordable approach for protecting existing school buildings and ensuring occupant safety.

Intended Audience. The target audience for the webinar on FEMA 395 includes school officials, school administrators, teachers, facility managers, engineers and other stakeholders interested in reducing earthquake risks in school facilities.
