Describes how to conduct rapid safety evaluations of buildings after an earthquake. Such evaluations are made to determine if buildings are safe to occupy or if restrictions must be placed on their use. Postearthquake safety concerns addressed in these evaluations include building collapse; falling hazards; and secondary hazards such as hazardous material releases, downed power lines, and postearthquake fires
