The Existing Buildings Committee (EBC) works on issues related to the evaluation, analysis, retrofit, and alteration of existing buildings with the objective of improving engineering practices and safety for the existing built environment. The committee aims to improve understanding of existing risk and mitigation strategies among the profession and the public for the natural hazards present across California, including earthquakes, wildfires, and tsunamis. Together with the SEAOC Existing Buildings Committee, the SEAONC EBC provides reviews and commentaries on guidelines, codes, and standards, and works with local jurisdictions on policies regarding existing structures.
