Building & Safety Month, sponsored by the International Code Council, is a campaign that hopes to raise public awareness for sustainable construction, and safety in the businesses and homes we work, play, and live in. It also highlights the essential role that building codes and standards play in decreasing the damaging effects that natural disasters and structure fires have on the health, safety, and welfare of the public.

The campaign also reinforces the need for adoption of modern building codes, a strong and efficient system of building code enforcement, and a well-trained, professional workforce to maintain public safety.

This year’s theme for Building & Safety Month is Building Codes: Driving Growth through Innovation, Resilience, and Safety. Each week in May, focus is given to a unique topic that highlights one facet of what Building Code Professionals like those at the City of Rancho Cordova do to serve their communities:

Week One May 2nd - 8th: Building Solutions for All Ages

Week Two May 9th - 15th: The Science Behind the Codes

Week Three May 16th - 22nd: Learn from the Past, Build for Tomorrow

Week Four May 23rd - 29th: Building Codes: A Smart Investment

Mayor David Sander presented a proclamation to City Interim Chief Building Official Joe Cuffe (pictured right) at Monday’s City Council meeting. The proclamation recognizes May is Building & Safety Month, conveys the importance of the month, and encourages all residents to participate in celebratory activities.

Beginning the week of May 9th, the City of Rancho Cordova will be hosting a Building and Fire Safety Trivia Contest on the City's Facebook page at www.facebook.com/RanchoCordova. The City will be posting a trivia question that will be related to the four weekly themes of Building & Safety Month. Everyone who responds with the correct answer by May 31st will be placed into a drawing to win an emergency disaster kit and gift card!
