                Proclamation 9110 of April 30, 2014

                
National Building Safety Month, 2014

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                America's buildings do more than house people and 
                goods. They embody innovation; inspire creativity; and 
                provide foundations for families, businesses, and 
                communities. During National Building Safety Month, we 
                celebrate the dedicated professionals who keep our 
                buildings secure, and we recommit to maintaining 
                resilient, energy-efficient infrastructure.

                Because this is not a task for government alone, my 
                Administration has fostered partnerships between the 
                public and private sectors. Joining with building 
                officials, design professionals, scientists, and 
                engineers, we continually develop new guidance and 
                tools for increasing disaster-resistance and meeting 
                building standards. For additional information and 
                resources explaining simple steps people can take to 
                better prepare their homes or businesses for a 
                disaster, visit www.Ready.gov.

                As Americans, our spirit is strong and resilient, and 
                our buildings should match that spirit. From our homes 
                to our high-rises, our museums to our malls, let us 
                work to keep structures sound and up to code. By doing 
                so, we can conserve energy, protect the environment, 
                and help communities withstand the impacts of natural 
                disasters and climate change.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the 
                United States of America, by virtue of the authority 
                vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the 
                United States, do hereby proclaim May 2014 as National 
                Building Safety Month. I encourage citizens, government 
                agencies, businesses, nonprofits, and other interested 
                groups to join in activities that raise awareness about 
                building safety. I also call on all Americans to learn 
                more about how they can contribute to building safety 
                at home and in their communities.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this

                United States of America the two hundred and thirty-
