WHEREAS, these guardians are dedicated members of the International Code

officials who are experts in the built environment to create and implement the highest-
quality codes to protect us in buildings where we live, learn, work and play;AND,
WHEREAS, modern building codes include safeguards to protect the public from
hazards such as hurricanes, snowstorms, tornadoes, wildland fires, floods and
earthquakes; AND,
WHEREAS, “Mission Possible,” the theme for Building Safety Month 2024,
encourages our citizens to consider the commitment to improve building safety,
resilience and economic investment at home and in communities, and to acknowledge
the essential service provided to all of us by local and state building departments, fire
prevention bureaus and federal agencies in protecting lives and property.
