The Reclamation Building Seismic Program (Program) uses the Reclamation property inventory of all owned buildings. Federally and privately owned buildings leased by Reclamation are also considered but are not the focus of the Program.

The Program database is dynamically linked to the Reclamation property database (FIRM) to ensure that the Program is using the latest data available.

In many higher-risk buildings, the Program has obtained the Buildings and Quarters sheets and entered pertinent information into the Program database.

The Program uses the Reclamation building number in all references to a particular building. This building number is a four-part number consisting of the region, project, index and suffix numbers. The region and project numbers use the standard Reclamation numbering system and the index and suffix number are the building numbers assigned by the project. The Program database, FIRM and all Reclamation Property Officers use the same numbering system.
