Building Safety Week 2007
<br />May 7-I3
<br />Whereas, through our continuing attention to building safety, we enjoy the comfort and peace of mind of structures
<br />that are safe and sound; and,
<br />Whereas, building safety and fire prevention officials are at work year round to guide the safe construction of
<br />buildings; and,
<br />Whereas, the dedicated members of the International Code Council, including building safety and fire prevention
<br />officials, architects, engineers, builders and others in the construction industry develop and enforce codes to
<br />safeguard Americans in the buildings where we live, work, play and learn; and,
<br />Whereas, the International Codes, the most widely adopted building safety and Ere prevention codes in the nation,
<br />are used by most U.S. cities, counties and states. These modern, building safety codes also include safeguards to
<br />protect the public from natural disasters that can occur, such as hurricanes, snowstorms, tornadoes, wild land fires
<br />and earthquakes; and,
<br />Whereas, Building Safety Week, sponsored by the International Code Council Foundation, is an excellent
<br />opportunity to educate the public. It is a perfect time to increase public awareness of the role building safety and
<br />fire prevention officials, local and state building departments, and federal agencies play in protecting lives and
<br />property; and,
<br />Whereas, this year's theme, "Building a Safer World Together," encourages all Americans to raise our awareness of
<br />building safety .Everyone can take appropriate steps to ensure that the places where we live, work, play and learn
<br />are safe. Countless lives have been saved because of the building safety codes adopted and enforced by local and
<br />state agencies; and,
<br />Whereas, this year, as we observe Building Safety Week, we ask all Americans to consider projects to improve
<br />building safety at home and in the community, and to recognize the local building safety and Ere prevention officials
<br />and the important role that they play in public safety.
<br />Now, therefore, it is hereby proclaimed that May 7 through May 13, 2001, as Building Safety Week in
<br />New Brighton, Accordingly, our citizens are encouraged to join their fellow Americans in
<br />participating in Building Safety Week activities and assisting efforts to improve building safety.
