| The objective of this manual is to provide guidance for engineers, architects, building officials, and property owners to design shelters and safe rooms in buildings. This manual presents information about the design and construction of shelters in the work place, home, or community building that will provide protection in response to manmade hazards.

| FEMA 389 was developed to facilitate the process of educating building owners and managers about seismic risk management tools that can be effectively and economically employed during the building development phase-- from site selection through design and construction-- as well as the operational phase. The document provides guidance for identifying and assessing earthquake-related hazards during the site selection process, including the potential seismic hazards of ground shaking, surface fault rupture, soil liquefaction, soil differential compaction, landsliding and inundation, as well as other potential hazards affecting building performance, vulnerable transportation and utility systems (lifelines), the hazards posed by adjacent structures, the release of hazardous materials, and post-earthquake fires.

| The purpose of E155 and L156 is to familiarize students with assessment methodologies available to identify the relative level of risk for various threats, including explosive blast and chemical, biological, or radiological agents. The students will be introduced to publications FEMA 426 and FEMA 452 and will be asked to provide mitigation measures for a range of manmade hazards. The primary target audience for these courses includes engineers, architects, and building officials. NOTE: These publications are available free to local and state government staff. All other interested parties can obtain these publications via online download or by purchasing hardcopy versions from the Government Printing Office. |

| The Risk Management Series (RMS) is a new FEMA series directed at providing design guidance for mitigating multihazard events. The objective of the series is to reduce physical damage to structural and nonstructural components of buildings and related infrastructure, and to reduce resultant casualties during natural and manmade disasters. This brochure lists and briefly describes select publications available in the RMS. |

| The National Digital Orthophoto Programs (NDOP) and the National Digital Elevation Program (NDEP) committees have collaborated to create project tracking systems that allow their Federal agency members to coordinate upcoming projects and share information about new data. This poster displays these systems. |

| This map shows areas where the 3-second wind gusts from Hurricane Katrina exceeded the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)7 building design levels. These levels are displayed by the census tract and are intended to show the areas likely to suffer damage due to design level exceedance. These are areas where the performance of structures built to design recommendations may be compromised. |

| Immediately after Katrina, FEMA conducted assessments of coastal flood elevations, called ABFEs in Mississippi and Louisiana to provide State and Local officials with more accurate data and to guide local decisions regarding reconstruction. Since flood damage is not covered under homeowners insurance, residents of structures without flood insurance could only recoup damages caused by non-flood sources. |
