What Our Codes Committee Is Working on Next
The next major earthquake in California is not a matter of if, it is a matter of when.
For commercial real estate professionals, that means now is the time to ask important questions:
- Is your building prepared?
- Do you understand current seismic requirements?
- How could earthquake risks affect your insurance and future building costs?
- Are you ready to navigate permits and approvals if upgrades are needed?
To help answer these questions, our Codes & Regulations Committee is bringing together industry experts for an important educational program on August 4.
Why This Event Matters
Our Codes & Regulations Committee works year-round to keep members informed about changing building regulations and advocate for practical policies that support commercial real estate.
This event is part of that mission.
As seismic requirements continue to evolve, building owners and managers are facing new challenges.
Insurance companies are becoming increasingly focused on earthquake risks and building resiliency. At the same time, navigating seismic upgrades and permitting requirements can be complicated and costly.
Understanding these issues today can help you make smarter decisions tomorrow.
What You Will Learn
During this program, attendees will hear from experts on:
- Recent seismic regulations and retrofit requirements
- How to plan for seismic upgrades and minimize disruptions
- Working with LADBS on permits and approvals
- Lessons learned from past projects
- How insurance trends may affect future building decisions
- Ways to protect tenants, operations, and building assets
This is also an opportunity to ask questions directly to experts and learn from other commercial real estate professionals facing similar challenges.
More Than Just Compliance
Earthquake preparedness is not only about meeting regulations.
It is about protecting your tenants and employees, reducing operational risks, planning for future capital improvements, protecting the long-term value of your asset and being prepared before the next major earthquake occurs.
The decisions building teams make today could have significant impacts on costs, operations, and insurance considerations in the future.
