- Abstract
- Fulfilling public safety needs is the responsibility not only of government but also of business, industry, institutions, organizations and professions. The builder and the architect must be in complete agreement on this precept if successful environmental hazard protection is to be achieved with realistic parameters. What better, ready-made places are there to find protection in time of disaster than in the Nation's buildings? And this is not necessarily limited to public structures. Let's give some thought to how buildings can best function in an expanded role as part of a community civil-preparedness system in the emergency-preparedness structure of the United States.
