May marks Building Safety Month, highlighting the national theme "Built to Last" and emphasizing that a home's resilience in emergencies begins long before disasters strike. This annual campaign, led by the International Code Council, underscores the critical role of robust building codes, thorough inspections, and skilled professionals.
These foundational elements are essential for ensuring structures can withstand events like storms, fires, or floods. The initiative aims to educate the public on proactive measures for home safety and emergency preparedness.
