The <br />program should be similar to San Francisco's Building <br />'Occupancy Resumption Program (BORP) that permits <br />',owners of buildings to hire qualified structural engineers <br />to create building- specific post- disaster inspection <br />plans and allows these engineers to become <br />automatically deputized as inspectors for these <br />buildings in the event of an earthquake or other <br />disaster. OSHPD, rather than city /county building <br />departments, has the authority and responsibility for the <br />'structural integrity of hospital structures. <br />Ensure health care facilities are adequately prepared to <br />care for victims with respiratory problems related to <br />smoke and /or particulate matter inhalation. <br />Ensure these health care facilities have the capacity to <br />shut off outside air and be self- contained. <br />'Ensure that hospitals and other major health care <br />facilities have auxiliary water and power sources. <br />L <br />0 <br />ra <br />ca c <br />0 <br />CO <br />O <br />
