ASCE encourages its members, as individuals, to provide pro bono expertise and professional services to charitable causes and those in emergency situations. Members who provide professional services pro bono for ASCE endorsed programs are covered by the Society's professional liability insurance. However, pro bono services provided by an individual in emergency situations are not protected against professional liability claims that may arise as part of furnishing these services. Engineers in emergency situations may be called upon to make recommendations with little or no information. (ASCE Policy Statement 443 Indemnification for Pro Bono Service)
State Senate Bill S. 3942 would protect professional engineers, architects, landscape architects and land surveyors who render voluntary services, without compensation acting reasonably and in good faith at the scene of a natural disaster or catastrophe, from liability for personal injury, wrongful death, property damage or other loss.
