[Jordan Bartlett]

Hello All,

 

I was thoroughly impressed to see the following initiative below and felt it was too valuable a resource not to share with you all.

 

‘Newly released is the first recorded self-paced training made available online for anyone who wants to gain greater knowledge into FEMA P-154. FEMA P-154 Third Edition: Rapid Visual Screening of Buildings for Potential Seismic Hazards is free and made available to the public in nine modules’.

 

Regards,

FEMA’s Earthquake and Wind Programs Branch Announced Free Recorded Online Training   One of FEMA’s components in its ongoing participation in the National Earthquake Hazard Reduction Program (NEHRP) is the National Earthquake Technical Assistance Program (NETAP). FEMA developed NETAP as a mechanism for delivering direct assistance to the public to increase their knowledge and ability to analyze their risk, plan and take actions aimed at reducing their earthquake risk and supporting overall community resilience. NETAP is a program managed by FEMA’s Earthquake and Wind Programs Branch to rapidly deploy training to organizations and communities. This program is designed to help state, local, territorial and tribal governments obtain the knowledge, tools and support that they need to plan and implement effective earthquake mitigation strategies. The program provides training and associated materials on topics related to earthquake risk reduction. NETAP training courses are available in-person and online for states/territories. Newly released is the first recorded self-paced training made available online for anyone who wants to gain greater knowledge into FEMA P-154. FEMA P-154 Third Edition: Rapid Visual Screening of Buildings for Potential Seismic Hazards is free and made available to the public in nine modules: Module 1: FEMA P-154: Introduction Module 2: FEMA P-154: Earthquake Hazard & Seismic Performance of Buildings Module 3: FEMA P-154: RVS Procedure Part 1 Module 4: FEMA P-154: RVS Procedure Part II Module 5: FEMA P-154: Key Building Performance Indicators Module 6: FEMA P-154: FEMA Building Types – Wood and Steel Module 7: FEMA P-154: FEMA Building Types - Concrete and Masonry Module 8: FEMA P-154: Class Exercise FEMA P-154: Additional Resources and Conclusions In addition, the FEMA P-154 Report is an accompaniment to the training modules. Click here to download the full report. https://www.fema.gov/emergency-managers/risk-management/earthquake/training/netap

Hi Jordan

 

Thanks for sharing that information. I gather, from reading the FEMA web site information, that, although registration for the courses is restricted to US citizens and authorities (but maybe not), the training resources are available for download, and would be valuable reading.

 

I was impressed by the amount of US federal legislation relating to the government’s responsibility to provide a wide range of earthquake risk related public education courses. One can only dream that such a state of affairs might exist in Australia at some future time – but, I imagine, that will not happen in my lifetime.

Hello Mike,

 

I assume the registration is relevant to those requiring acknowledgement of having completed the modules and the Module 8 Class Exercise.

 

I simply opened the youtube links and began watching it… I trust they won’t GeoBlock it in time.
