Washington, D.C., May 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Washington, D.C. – The International Code Council’s Building Safety Month campaign enters its second week emphasizing the importance of promoting building safety locally.
Week Two: Building Your Offense, focuses on education and advocacy tips to help keep buildings in communities safe. By speaking up about building safety, people can not only make a difference at the individual level, but also at the community level by inspiring others to do the same. Planning community events to raise awareness or attending local events about building safety are just some of the ways to help. Learn more about how to spread the word here.
“There are really simple things that people may not realize about advocating for building safety on the individual level,” said Code Council Board President David Spencer, CBO. “From sharing fact-based information and resources on your social media accounts to contacting code officials in your area to learn more about building safety, no action is too small.”
