ATC-20 Training at Stanford University
We’re excited to announce that the ATC-20 Postearthquake Safety Evaluation of Buildings Training will be held at Stanford University. This full-day training includes hands-on case studies and provides breakfast, lunch, and a copy of the ATC-20-1 Field Manual.

This is a valuable opportunity to join the SAP Program, renew an expired certification, or extend a certification nearing expiration.

About the Safety Assessment Program (SAP):
The Safety Assessment Program (SAP) utilizes mutual aid resources and volunteers—professional engineers, architects, and certified building inspectors—to assist local governments by performing post-disaster building evaluations. The program is managed by the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), with support from professional organizations including SEAONC.

Licensed professionals (Civil, Structural, or Geotechnical Engineers; Architects; Geologists; or Certified Building Inspectors) who attend the training will receive digital SAP ID cards issued by Cal OES. Individuals without a professional license may still attend and, upon licensure, can contact Cal OES to update their status to “Evaluator.” Please note that SAP certification does not obligate participation in deployments—participation is voluntary.

Training Highlights:
Our instructors bring extensive real-world experience, including participation in recent incidents such as the Los Angeles wildfires. Previous attendees have especially appreciated the value of the hands-on afternoon case studies.
