Building Safety Month

The ICC Midwest Region V proudly supports Building Safety Month, an International Code Council campaign held each May to advance safe, sustainable, and resilient buildings in every community. Building Safety Month underscores the value of adopting and maintaining modern, regularly updated building codes that are reasonable, balanced, and responsive to the need to protect residents, businesses, and critical facilities from risks associated with natural disasters and those inherent to the built environment.

In addition, Building Safety Month is an opportunity for our chapters and communities to highlight the essential role of code officials within their own jurisdictions. One of the most effective ways to do this is by securing a Building Safety Month proclamation from local elected leaders. These proclamations help reinforce the importance of modern codes, public safety, and the work our members perform every day.
