SB 5768: Emergency scene inspections

Providing for inspection services at an emergency scene upon the request of a public official.

Summary

  • Washington's emergency management laws are amended to clarify that (a) registered architects and professional engineers can serve as "emergency workers" and therefore are shielded from certain civil liabilities arising in connection with their emergency service; and (b) emergency workers in some cases are not liable for economic losses that result from damage to, or destruction or condemnation of, real property.
