Safety Assessment Program

Recovery
Share This Page

The Safety Assessment Program (SAP) utilizes volunteers and mutual aid resources to provide professional engineers and architects and certified building inspectors to assist local governments in safety evaluation of their built environment in the aftermath of a disaster. The program is managed by Cal OES, with cooperation from professional organizations. SAP produces two resources: SAP Evaluators, described above, and SAP Coordinators, which are local government representatives that coordinate the program. Cal OES issues registration ID cards to all SAP Evaluators that have successfully completed the program requirements. Training for this program is now eligible for Homeland Security Grant Program funding.

  • SAP Online Evaluator Refresher Training
    **This is our new online refresher training course.  You will need to register with the site prior to taking the refresher training.**

    If your SAP Evaluator card has expired or is about to expire, you can continue your registration in the program by taking this refresher training.  SAP Evaluators can update their contact information here. For best results, please use Windows Internet Explorer as your browser to access this training.  CEU credits are not available for the online refresher course.

 

For a schedule of upcoming in-person SAP Evaluator, Coordinator, and Train-the-Trainer classes, please see the Training Events section below.
