Building safety evaluation during a state of emergency

The New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering (NZSEE) Building Safety Evaluation Guidelines [PDF 1.1MB, 49 pages] provide guidance for Territorial Authority Building Control Managers to prepare for, implement and manage building structural safety evaluation activities after major earthquakes or other disaster events, and for engineers and others assisting with the process in the field. The document was developed by the NZSEE with support from the Department of Building and Housing and the Ministry for Civil Defence and Emergency Management.

The Word format Appendices [WORD 336KB, 44 pages] contain forms and placards for territorial authorities to use by inserting their own contact details and attaching to their own response procedures.
