Keeping California’s Swimming Pools Safe With the 2021 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code
2022-08-23 15:00 - 16:00
The webinar will be held from 1:00-2:00 PM PT.
Register here.
The design and layout of swimming pools and spas can have a significant impact on your health and safety.
It is important for communities to utilize codes that cover all aspects of residential pool and spa construction,
including key design and inspection requirements. These requirements are paramount in ensuring the safety,
structural integrity and sustainability of residential pools and spas.
This webinar, co-sponsored by the International Code Council and the Pool and Hot Tub Alliance (PHTA), will
help you understand the importance of adopting modern swimming pool and spa codes, such as the 2021
International Swimming Pool and Spa code (ISPSC), and help Californians ensure their pools are both safe and
enjoyable for many years to come.

Advanced Building Science Flood and Wind Mitigation Series course
2022-08-22 - 2022-08-26
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is pleased to announce the first full offering of the (E2460) Advanced Building Science Flood and Wind Mitigation Series course, being held at the Emergency Management Institute (EMI) on August 22nd – 26th, 2022.
This exciting course lineup promotes the adoption and enforcement of hazard resistant provisions and mitigation implementation for increased resiliency against flood and wind hazards. Best-practice guidance on coordinating building codes and flood provisions will be addressed, as well as technical flood mitigation topics including elevation retrofit, floodproofing non-residential structures, and designing for future conditions. Wind mitigation topics include design requirements for residential and non-residential construction, hurricane and tornado storm shelter design, and assessing wind vulnerabilities for critical facilities. Course content is focused on the 2021 and 2018 I-Codes and latest reference standards, as well as the most up-to-date FEMA programs and policies that support mitigation and code compliance.
The course modules that are featured in this 4.5 day offering include:
1. Flood Provisions of the I-Codes and ASCE-24
2. Strategies for Maximizing Floodproofing Success
3. Steps to a Successful Elevation
4. Incorporating Future Conditions Into Flood Design
5. Wind Provisions for Mitigation and Safe Room Design
6. Critical Building Performance for Wind
7. FEMA Policies and Funding Programs for Increased Resilience

Residential Seismic Assessment and Retrofit Standard Consensus Committee (IS-RSARC)
2022-08-05 14:00 - 17:00
As an ANSI accredited standard developing organization, ICC is undertaking a project coordinated with the California Earthquake Authority (CEA) and FEMA to develop an ICC Standard for the seismic evaluation and retrofit of one and two family dwellings (including townhouses) designated as ICC 1300, Standard for the Vulnerability-Based Seismic Assessment and Retrofit of One- and Two-Family Dwellings.
The development of the standard will be initiated with FEMA P-1100 as an initial draft. This committee will have primary responsibility for the development of minimum requirements to safeguard the public health, safety, general welfare by providing a methodology for the identification, evaluation and retrofit of specific known vulnerabilities for one- and two-family wood light-frame dwellings up to 2 stories in height located in Seismic Design Categories B through E. This will include the use of the best available seismic numerical modeling tools and engineering practices to assist in development of assessment methods and to identify retrofit criteria to best achieve targeted performance objectives. Use of the provisions is anticipated to improve earthquake performance but is not necessarily intended to prevent earthquake damage. Also included is the evaluation and retrofit of masonry chimneys attached to 3 story buildings.
