Long Beach, CA ~ Long Beach, CA - As May approaches, the City of Long Beach Community Development Department is gearing up to celebrate International Building Safety Month. This annual event, sponsored by the International Code Council, aims to raise awareness about building safety codes and their importance in ensuring the safety and well-being of residents and visitors.
Mayor Rex Richardson emphasized the city's commitment to prioritizing the safety of its community members. "The safety of our built environment is crucial for those who live, work, and visit Long Beach," he stated. "We must ensure that our homes, businesses, and schools have strong structural integrity to protect our citizens."
To spread awareness about building safety, the Community Development Department has planned various outreach events throughout the month.
