S.A.V.E. Coalition

The SAVE Coalition’s objective is to assist the Missouri State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) in the execution of its responsibilities with respect to the use of qualified volunteers in the emergency assessment of buildings following a catastrophic event such as an earthquake, tornado, flood or manmade disaster which causes structural damages.

The goals of the Structural Assessment Visual Evaluation (SAVE) Coalition are to assist the Missouri State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) in the following:

1. Implementing an emergency assessment of building conditions following catastrophic events.
2. Maintaining a Safety Assessment Administrative Plan for Volunteers to use in performing building and structure evaluations following catastrophic events.
3. Developing and managing an acceptable training and accreditation program for volunteers.
4. Maintaining a roster of volunteers by regions of the state.
5. Developing an "alert system" to contact volunteers and marshal these personnel to appropriate locations.
