CA Emergency Mgmt. Agency Safety Assessment Program Evaluator Manual April 2011deputized by the jurisdiction (see page 11). If not deputized, the SAP evaluator can onlyrecommend a posting and post with generic (unofficial) placards lacking the official sealor authorizing ordinance of the jurisdiction. In such cases, jurisdictions would follow upwith their own forces and replace the unofficial placards with official ones.Explain the significance of the placard to the occupants. This is only necessary if thebuilding is occupied during the investigation. Try not to use technical terminology in theexplanation. Also be prepared for the building owner or occupant who tries to convincethe SAP evaluators to change the placard to something they like better. This effort mayinclude offered bribes, threats, or use of third parties. If the SAP evaluator teamencounters such conditions, they may need to request of the jurisdiction that a uniformedlaw enforcement officer accompany the team.While traveling around the building during the investigation, watch for vertical and horizontalirregularities in the building layout. The arrows in Figures 2-38 and 2-39 indicate where damageis most likely to be found.Soft StoriesFigure 2-38 – Vertical irregularities72
