Structural Engineering Emergency Response (SEER)  

The Structural Engineering Emergency Response (SEER) Committee advances NCSEA’s commitment to supporting a resilient built environment by promoting the expeditious post-disaster recovery of communities through building safety evaluations.      

The Committee realizes this purpose through the following initiatives: 

• Advocating for robust and appropriate regulations for statewide emergencies in coordination with national organizations, local jurisdictions, and Structural Engineers Associations  
• Educating structural engineers through NCSEA committees on proper roles and responsibilities of second responders   
• Coordinating with nationwide state groups and structural engineers on technical resources
