| Resumen: | The document talks about the importance of the use of building codes, mentioning that: Codes protect public health, safety and welfare, Building codes provide protection from tragedy caused by fire, structural collapse and general deterioration in our homes, schools, stores and manufacturing facilities. Safe buildings are achieved through proper design and construction practices and a code administration program that ensures compliance. Home and business owners have a substantial investment that is protected through complete code enforcement. Codes keep construction costs down. The International Codes provide uniformity in the construction industry. This uniformity permits building and materials manufacturers to do business on a larger scale — statewide, regionally, nationally or internationally. Larger scale allows cost savings to be passed on to the consumer. Codes provide consistent minimum standards in construction. Codes establish predictable and consistent minimum standards, that are applied to the quality and durability of construction materials, a practical balance between reasonable safety, and cost to protect life and property. The term “minimum requirements” means that construction meets the criteria of being both practical and adequate for protecting the life, safety and welfare of the public. Codes contribute to the well-being of the community The preservation of life and safety, as well as the maintenance of property values over time, are a direct result of the application and enforcement of model building codes. The conservation of energy contributes to intelligent use of resources and provides the consumer with cost savings. |

| Título: | Threat/Vulnerability Assessments and Risk Analysis |
| Autor: | National Institute of Building Sciences |
| Resumen: | All facilities face a certain level of risk associated with various threats. These threats may be the result of natural events, accidents, or intentional acts to cause harm. Regardless of the nature of the threat, facility owners have a responsibility to limit or manage risks from these threats to the extent possible. The federal government has implemented the Interagency Security Committee (ISC) Security Design Criteria. Facility owners, particularly owners of public facilities, should adhere to similar security design criteria as those put forth in the ISC Security Design Criteria. Landlords who desire to lease space to federal government agencies must implement the ISC Security Design Criteria in the design of new facilities and/or the renovation of existing facilities. |
