BCAT

Building Code Adoption Tracking, also referred to as Building Code Adoption Tracking System (BCATS). BCAT information is based on ISO Building Code Effectiveness Grading Schedule (BCEGS) data and supplemented by FEMA Building Science Branch research. BCEGS is a program administered by ISO which evaluates building departments in jurisdictions across the country pertaining to their building code adoption and enforcement. There are five bureau states (i.e., HI, ID, LA, MS, WA) which do not participate in the BCEGS.
