Building Safety Assessment v3 View Only Layer

This view only feature layer is used to support the CUSEC Post-Disaster Building Safety Assessment Application, developed by the CUSEC Safety Assessment working group. It allows sharing outside of the assessment group to others that need to view the data but are not allowed to collect or editing existing features. More information: Following a large disaster, thousands of damaged buildings may need to be quickly surveyed to determine their safety and habitability. Traditional survey methods can be time consuming and inefficient. In 2015, the Central U.S. Earthquake Consortium (CUSEC) created a FREE mobile data collection app to address this issue. The "Safety Assessment App" captures post-disaster safety assessments into a geographic information system (GIS) that can be used by emergency managers and decision makers to improve disaster response and recovery efforts. Trained engineers and architects can use the app quickly document whether or not buildings are safe to occupy following an earthquake, wind, or flood event. Instead of using paper forms that are time-consuming and cumbersome to enter into a GIS database, assessment teams can use the app on iOS, Android, or Windows-based smartphones and tablets.
