Safety Assessment Program (SAP) Evaluator Training
The San Jose Branch and San Jose YMF would like to welcome you to our Safety Assessment Program (SAP) training.
The Safety Assessment Program is a state-wide disaster response program, where groups of trained volunteers provide inspections of buildings and infrastructure impacted by natural and man-made disasters. Licensed civil, structural and geotechnical engineers are eligible candidates for this volunteer program, but all are welcome to attend and learn about the program.
This training will be provided by Doug Taylor, PE, M.ASCE. Doug is the ASCE Region 9 Chair of the Disaster Preparedness Committee. Doug will describe the program, the volunteer's role in the program, and provide the necessary evaluator training. A PE license is required for SAP certification, but anyone can take the training (certification will follow once a PE license is obtained). More information about the program can be found at:

Registration cost is $10. Registration costs will cover all training materials (a $32 value FREE) and lunch.
