Case context
Following Client A's refusal to build to the 100-year storm surge elevation, Engineer A must determine whether the public safety risk requires escalation beyond the client relationship, particularly given the absence of any applicable building code.

Obligated party
Engineer A
Obligation statement
Engineer A is obligated to assess whether the nature, probability, and severity of the identified storm surge risk — including the risk to future residents of the coastal residential development — is sufficiently serious to require escalation beyond the client relationship to local government officials, regulatory authorities, or the public, and to take such escalation steps if the risk warrants it.
Temporal scope
Following Client A's refusal to accept the 100-year storm surge recommendation

Source Evidence
Source text
Because of the increased cost, Owner refuses to agree that the residential development project be built to a 100-year projection storm surge elevation.
Text references
Because of the increased cost, Owner refuses to agree that the residential development project be built to a 100-year projection storm surge elevation.
Engineer A believes the residential development project should be built to a 100-year projected storm surge elevation, due to public safety risks even at lower projections of future surge level rise.
The geographic area in which Client A is planning to build the project currently has no building code in place.
