Hi:

The link you have supplied is not valid and you might want to try the
following.
http://www.usphsengineers.org/EmergencyPreparedness/Reinforced%20Concrete%20
Structure%20Rapid%20Structural%20Safety%20Asse..pdf

If the above does not work, click on "Monitoring Damaged RCC" under the
following page:
http://www.usphsengineers.org/EmergencyPreparedness/default.htm

Unfortunately the document is hardly of any use for rapid screening. As you
had mentioned FEMA provides some very good guidance for buildings in the US.

FEMA methodology is three tiered. Tier 1 is visual screening followed by

deficient members and a major analysis and rehabilitation can be conducted
per Tier3. Tier 1 and 2 as included in the pre-standard FEMA 310 includes
some good checklist which can be used to point out possible weak links in
the buildings. This pre-standard has now been made into a ASCE standard for
the evaluation of existing buildings.

You can take a look at the FEMA 310 here:

I hope this information is helpful to you.
