Visual Assessment Training in Nashville

This training will teach you how to evaluate structural integrity of buildings and appropriately tag them following a natural disaster such as a tornado or earthquake. If you want to help people in their darkest hour using your professional training and experience, we invite you to sign up for TNSAVE and become certified by taking one of our upcoming classes. TNSAVE is comprised of professional organizations whose objective is to help the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency (TEMA) develop and maintain a post-disaster building inspector program. TNSAVE serves TEMA and the State of Tennessee to identify, recruit, train, organize and mobilize building inspectors for disasters such as earthquakes, tornados and floods. TNSAVE Members are usually engineers, architects, building inspectors/enforcement, or other construction and design professionals with an interest in serving following a disaster.

To be eligible to volunteer to perform building evaluations for TEMA following a disaster, you must have taken our training or an approved alternate within the last 3 years.

Check-in for classes begins at 7:30 a.m. and the classes will start at 8 a.m. Classes normally run to about 4 p.m. Lunch will not be provided but there are food options close to the training location for those who do not bring a lunch.

Architects and engineers receive 7 professional development hours for attending. For Building Inspectors, this course has been certified with the State Fire Marshall's Office.

Participation in this course is only offered to Architects, Engineers, and Building Inspectors.
