EBB Get Trained FEMA Education Course OverviewContractors who complete this training will be eligible to be included in the Earthquake Brace + Bolt Contractor Directory. All EBB participating homeowners must use this Directory to select a contractor to complete their retrofit (unless they are doing the work themselves).

The goal of this Seismic Rehabilitation Training for One- and Two-Family Wood-Frame Dwellings is to promote seismic rehabilitation of one- and two-family dwellings. Completing this training will help you learn to identify common seismic vulnerabilities, and learn about rehabilitation approaches and available guidelines.
