Our local and national news agencies are reporting an increased frequency in various types of disasters (Eg. fires & floods).  People residing in Strata/Co-op buildings may have different needs and challenges from individuals living in a single family dwelling during an emergency.

Responsible strata leadership and risk management should include helping owners address potential threats to their property and how to prepare a personal emergency plan.  Emergency planning is the best defense to mitigate property and personal losses during a disaster.

It is our recommendation that your strata form a team that will plan how to handle any disaster and maintain the plan to protect the people in the complex. We want to help.
