Engineering a Response: The Role of Engineers, Contractors, and Stewards in Disaster Recovery for Historic Buildings

Join us for a webinar with Donald Friedman, PE, on disaster preparedness and recovery for historic buildings and those who care for them. Learn how structural engineers, specialized contractors and other responders assess damage, define priorities, and hand off critical information to building owners and stewards. Through a real-world case study, we’ll discuss how building and collection stewards can prepare for emergency response, recognize when professional support is needed, advocate for their structures, identify what can be handled safely in-house and plan effective short-term stabilization.
