BUILDING SAFETY MONTH
MAY 2024
WHEREAS, the City of Apache Junction is committed to recognizing that our
growth and strength depends on the safety and essential role our
homes, buildings and infrastructure play, both in everyday life and
when disasters strike; and
WHEREAS, our confidence in the flexibility of these buildings that make up our
community is achieved through the commitment of alert guardians —
building safety and fire prevention officials, architects, engineers,
builders, tradespeople, design professionals, laborers, plumbers and
others in the construction industry—who work year-round to ensure
the safe construction of buildings; and
WHEREAS, these guardians are dedicated members of the International Code
Council, a nonprofit that brings together local, state, territorial, tribal
and federal officials who are experts in the building environment to
create and implement the highest- quality codes to protect us in the
buildings where we live, learn, work and play; and
WHEREAS, "Mission Possible," the theme for Building Safety Month 2024,
encourages us all to raise awareness about building safety on a
personal, local and global scale; and
WHEREAS, each year, in observance of Building Safety Month, people all over
the world are asked to consider the commitment to improve building
safety, resilience and economic investment at home and in the
community, and to acknowledge the essential service provided to all
of us by local and state building departments, fire prevention bureaus
and federal agencies in protecting lives and property.
