The training provides instruction on inspection procedures and use of a four-page Simplified Seismic Assessment Form to evaluate detached single-family wood-frame dwellings and to assign to each a seismic performance grade. The procedure takes into consideration the potential for damage or collapse in a manner that is consistent and useful to owners, purchasers, insurers, lenders, contractors, design professionals, and regulatory officials. The training on FEMA P-50-1, Seismic Retrofit Guidelines for Single-Family, Wood-Frame Dwellings, provides specific guidance for retrofitting a dwelling’s seismic deficiencies, as identified using the FEMA P-50 procedure.
