BUILDING SAFETY MONTH COMMUNITIES WITHOUT LIMITS Creating a truly safe community means ensuring every person, regardless of age, ability or circumstance, can move through and use the spaces around them. Communities without limits embrace built environments that are welcoming, intuitive and enjoyable by all. This begins with eliminating physical, sensory and cognitive barriers that prevent people from fully navigating homes, buildings and public spaces to their fullest extent. Accessibility is Inclusivity When spaces are easy to understand and easy to navigate, they work better for everyone, from children and seniors to people recovering from injury or living with disabilities. Accessible environments are intentionally designed to support the widest range of users. That includes: •Removing obstacles such as narrow pathways, abrupt level changes or confusing layouts •Considering sensory needs by incorporating clear signage, visual contrast and auditory cues •Supporting cognitive accessibility through straightforward wayfinding, simple instructions and predictable design Accessibility Basics at Home and in the Community Meeting accessibility standards is an essential part of building safety. These standards aren’t just legal expectations, they are the building blocks that allow everyone to participate fully in daily life. Foundational features found in the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design, the Fair Housing Accessibility Guidelines and the I-Codes working with ICC A117.1 support usability and safety in homes, workplaces and public spaces. These may include: •Step-free accessible entrances and exterior routes •Clearance at elements and fixtures for people using wheelchairs and other mobility devices •Grab bars or reinforcement in bathroom walls •Accessible operable parts, such as switches, outlets and appliance and plumbing controls, HVAC controls •Properly designed ramps with edge protection, guards and handrails •Maneuvering clearances or automatic openers at doors •Tactile and high-contrast visual signage for wayfinding •Accessible parking spaces and passenger loading zones •Planning for accessible means of egress to include everyone who may need assistance Accessibility Enhances Safety for All Accessible design is fundamentally safe design. A more accessible built environment is easier to evacuate, easier to navigate and easier to use, which benefits every member of the community. Involving a diverse range of stakeholders, especially people with disabilities, in planning, design and decision making ensures spaces reflect real experiences and real needs. Features that support people with disabilities also improve safety during: •Emergencies, visual alarms, two-way communication systems, clear informational signage and intuitive layouts can save lives •Transitions, incorporating access into the main circulations paths for entering or exiting buildings or moving between different levels and floors •Everyday activities, navigating and using shared community spaces, equal access to services and inclusion in dining and work areas In Closing We all play a significant role in ensuring our homes and communities are constructed and maintained to modern building safety standards. Step One: Identify the adopted building safety codes where you live. Visit the Federal Alliance for Safe Homes (FLASH) website(https://inspecttoprotect.org/) and enter your zip code into their Strong Home Scale to find the model code status of your home based on available data. Here you’ll also learn about the potential threats to your home based on community disaster history, and what upgrades may increase your home’s resilience. Step Two: Visit ICC’s code adoption map (https://codes.iccsafe.org/codes/united-states) and Codes Save (https://www.iccsafe.org/codessave/) to determine if your state or community has adopted up-to-date codes for new construction. If improvements are needed, determine if the codes in your state are adopted at the state or local level. Step Three: Ask public officials to advocate for change (https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials). This might be a building official, a city council person or county commissioner, or a state building code board or legislator. After you find your state’s information on ICC’s Code Adoption Map (https://codes.iccsafe.org/codes/united-states) click on the blue button “State Information and Resources” to learn more. Step Four: Get ready to take action. If building codes are considered by your city council or county commission, consider attending a meeting. Depending on the meeting, you can speak during an open comment time or when an item is considered on the agenda. Call the clerk’s office to find out the meeting date, location and rules for participating. If building codes are considered by a state board, many of the meetings are available to view online. There is also typically a way to provide public comment in writing or at a specific time in a regularly scheduled meeting. If building codes are considered by your state legislature, contact your legislators, either by phone, email or an in-person visit to an office. Step Five: Ask for change. Here are a few talking points on why adopting and enforcing modern building codes is important: •Adopting and implementing modern building codes, like the International Codes® (I-Codes), protects homes and families from extreme weather and other hazards and reduces the cost of living by curbing utility bills, insurance premiums, and repairs and maintenance all without impacting housing affordability. •Widespread adoption of modern building codes at the state and local levels can lower construction costs, increase efficiencies for builders and manufacturers and encourage economic investment through minimized risk and reduced borrowing costs for communities. •Updated codes save time and resources after a disaster. The National Institute of Building Sciences found that the adoption of the most current edition of the I-Codes generates a national benefit of $11 for every $1 invested in mitigation and recovery costs. •As technology around the building trades evolves and becomes more advanced, so do the I-Codes. Every three years, ICC begins a new code cycle to ensure that the I-Codes reflect the latest innovations in building science. By advocating for the adoption and implementation of modern codes and standards, you help to create a safer, more resilient community for everyone. Featured News by City of Coos Bay
