AGREEMENT FOR ACCELERATED BUILDING REOCCUPANCY (ABR) PROGRAMAgreement for Accelerated Building Reoccupancy (Abr) Program • January 13th, 2023
After an earthquake with intensity capable of causing structural damage, affected buildings must be inspected and appropriately posted for occupancy. Through provisions of the building code, the AHJ is the agency who has the legal authority to determine these postings. While the AHJ retains their authority over the final posting, the Accelerated Building Reoccupancy (ABR) Program establishes an agreement between the building owner, AHJ, and designated building safety evaluators to allow private-sector post-earthquake emergency evaluation satisfying accepted standards and procedures.
