Safe Rooms and Shelters
The Safe Rooms and Shelters online PDH course is a part of the Building Design category of courses. Chemical, biological, radiological, and explosive (CBRE) attacks are a credible threat to our society. Such attacks can cause a large number of fatalities or injuries in high-occupancy buildings and residential neighborhoods.
This course reviews the potential manmade threats to which a shelter may be exposed and the level of protection (LOP) that may be assumed by building owners when deciding to build a shelter to support preparedness objectives established in the National Preparedness Goal. It also presents information about the design and construction of shelters in the work place, home, and community buildings that can provide protection in response to manmade CBRE threats.
The online PDH course is based on the FEMA Publication tilted, “Safe Rooms and Shelters” (FEMA 453).
This course is intended to be used by architects, civil and structural, mechanical, electrical engineers and others interested in learning about safe rooms and shelters.
