The cultural heritage community is dependent upon structural engineers to determine whether a building is safe to enter before recovery efforts can begin. Architect and engineer Stephen J. Kelley has significant experience in responding to disasters worldwide: fires in numerous historic monuments; flooded historic districts along the Mississippi and Ohio rivers; hurricanes and typhoons on the Gulf Coast, New York and in the Philippines; and earthquakes in Haiti, Nepal in the Philippines. These experiences have been woven into a tapestry of ways to interpret disasters and the risk they pose, things to think about in preparation for disaster, and how to respond quickly to disaster once it occurs.
