Functional Recovery Webinar Series Registration

Functional recovery is moving from concept to practice, and SEAOC is bringing together the people shaping that shift. This six-part series walks through where the new standards are headed, how to set recovery goals with a client, and what implementation actually looks like on real projects. Sessions cover the development of functional recovery standards, building a recovery goal matrix, the link between functional recovery and community resilience, case studies applying FEMA P-58, QA/QC considerations, and structural health monitoring and non-destructive evaluation.

Each webinar will be recorded and the recording will be provided after each session.

Cost:

$49/member | $79/non-member per webinar
$249/member - series (all six webinars)
$399/non-member - series (all six webinars)
