17. Inspect local Buildings • Your building • Other buildings in your organization as assigned by your DOC • Other buildings on campus as assigned by the EOC • If your DOC has completed all your buildings, check with Residential & Dining Enterprises to see if they need help with assessing housing units

18. What BATs Do NOT Do • BATs do NOT place themselves at risk • BATs do NOT go into buildings; assess from the outside only • BATs do NOT make engineering decisions or inspections • BATs do NOT post official red, yellow, green signs; engineers do that
