About this session:

Parking structure owners and owner’s representatives need to know what do and who to call in an unforeseen emergency. From collapses, to car fires, fatalities or even floods, these events can happen to anyone with little or no notice. While parking structure incidents and collapses are rare, we are seeing these unfortunate events occur more frequently. Mat Birney and Franc Genoese of StructureCare speak from their very recent experiences responding to local emergencies and provide structure owners and owner’s reps with the tools necessary to start developing their own emergency plans. Because when disaster strikes, you’ll be relieved to turn your panic into a plan.



1. How to respond to structural related events that you cannot predict: collapse, fire, natural disasters, fatality, etc.
2. The value of an Emergency Operations Plans (EOP) and the value of communicating early to all stakeholders involved in the plan.
3. Response and procedure timeline through the lens of a structural engineer, broken down into the following stages: · Briefing · Immediate and Rapid Evaluation · Intermediate Evaluation · Detailed Engineering Evaluation
4. Case studies of structural emergencies that our team has assisted with and how we helps the emergency teams succeed.
