Building Safety Month: Week 2

Create a game plan to actively support building safety programs in your community! Now's the time to build your team and let your voice be heard by attending city council meetings, sending press releases and more.

Let Your Voice Be Heard

Be the change you'd like to see in your community by speaking up about building safety. From reaching out to your local media, to advocating for building safety to local leadership, even the smallest action can ultimately save lives.

• Talk to your network about building safety and share fact-based information and resources on your social media accounts.
• Share building safety information or concerns with your public information officer, city manager or mayor.
• Plan community events to raise awareness or attend local events about building safety.
• Contact the code officials in your area to learn more about the building industry and discover local volunteer opportunities.

Recruiting the Next Generation

Get kids interested in and learning about building safety! With a little help from CODiE the Cheetah, kids can work through our Building Safety Month activity book to complete their training and earn a certificate as a Junior Code Official (and submit a proclamation!).

Find resources for parents, kids and teachers at the Code Council’s Kids Corner.

Learn more about ways you can advocate for building safety.
