achieved through the devotion of vigilant guardians —building safety and fire prevention officials,
architects, engineers, builders, tradespeople, design professionals, laborers, plumbers and others
in the construction industry, and;

that brings together local, state, territorial, tribal and federal officials who create and implement the
highest -quality codes and standards to protect us, and;
WHEREAS, these modern building codes and standards include safeguards to protect the public
from hazards such as hurricanes, snowstorms, tornadoes, wildland fires, floods and earthquakes,
and;

-who assure us of safe, sustainable and affordable buildings are essential to our prosperity, and;
WHEREAS, Building Safety Month encourages us all to get involved and raise awareness about
building safety on a personal, local and global scale.
