This webinar presents findings from post-fire reconnaissance efforts led by the SEAOSC Disaster and Emergency Services Committee in collaboration with the Existing Building Committee and SEAOSC Board. Volunteer structural engineers collected perishable field data using observations, checklists, and photogrammetry.
