The Safety Assessment Program (SAP) is certified by the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (CalOES,) and utilizes volunteers and mutual aid resources to provide professional engineers, 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, in cooperation with professional organizations. Cal OES Recovery SAP issues registration ID cards to all SAP Evaluators that have successfully completed the program requirements.
AIA Santa Barbara and other AIA chapters host the SAP training periodically.
