## Resource

🔍 Tag someone who needs to hear this! When disaster strikes, structural engineers are the unsung heroes assessing stability and ensuring the safety of rescue teams. Their expertise allows rescuers to focus on saving lives, while they tackle hazards like secondary collapses and unstable debris. Throughout his 31 years with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Jeff Quinnell has seen it all—from hurricanes to earthquakes, his experience is invaluable. What’s the biggest challenge? Creatively ensuring safety in chaotic environments. In disaster zones, no two situations are the same. This is more than engineering; it’s about serving humanity under pressure.
