Building Safety Month 2024

 Mission Possible

Throughout May, Kitsap County will participate in the 44th annual Building Safety Month, a worldwide campaign presented by the International Code Council, its members, and partners to promote building safety. This year's campaign is, "Mission Possible." The campaign encourages us to raise awareness about building safety on a personal, local, and global scale. We also celebrate the professionals who make the work of building safety happen.


Week One: "Understanding the Mission" - Evidence of “building safety” is all around us. From an individual level, building safety can include installing smoke alarms in your house or giving portable heaters at least three feet of space. From a community level, building safety can include adopting modern building codes or enacting sustainability initiatives.

Welcome to Week 1 Video

Week Two:"Preparing a Building Safety Plan"—We will discuss how building safety impacts our everyday lives and what we can do at home to stay safe.


Week Three: "Learning from the Pros" Provides a glimpse into the world of building safety professionals by outlining their different roles and responsibilities and spotlighting how they make a difference in their communities. 

Week Four: "Engaging Your Community" - Understanding the community engagement process for building safety in your community.
