The City of Nampa is happy to announce May of 2019 as the International Code Council 39th annual Building Safety Month. The 2019 theme is No Code. No Confidence. Building Safety Month is an international campaign that culminates in May to raise awareness about building safety. Building Safety Month is organized by the International Code Council (ICC) with the cooperation of building industry, safety, and design organizations and communities worldwide. It began as a means of promoting building safety within the United States; today, it has an international reach. Building safety is heavily promoted throughout May with proclamations, informational events, legislative briefings and more, all intended to raise awareness of the importance of building safe and sustainable structures for work, residence, and play. Here are the weekly themes for the month of May 2019:
