Building Inspections after Natural Disasters
Building Inspections after Natural Disasters
(OP)
Is there any agency or website where structural engineers can offer either volunteer or paid services for building inspection in the aftermath of a hurricane or other natural disasters?

You will find essentially the same information in the e-mail at his link:
http://www.asce.org/asce.cfm
The link has links on how to volunteer and with whom.
I am sure we all are touched by the tragic results of the hurricane. I lived through four (4) of them last year here in Florida. It could have been very easily us. I also have family connection in NO. We shall recover and come back from this one as well.

Volunteers should not report directly to the affected areas unless directed by a voluntary agency.
The American Red Cross has an ongoing need for engineers who are trained in disaster response and ready for deployment. To volunteer in that capacity, we urge you to contact your local American Red Cross chapter at http://www.redcross.org/donate/volunteer/.
While the Federal Emergency Management Agency also has an ongoing need for engineers, only those who have pre-registered and trained with the agency will be included in the disaster response teams. If you would like more information on working with FEMA, please visit http://www.fema.gov/.
