Stratastrophe! Sign up for strata disaster webinar

Is your block ready for whatever disaster maybe lurking around the corner, be it fire or flood, tsunami or mystery sinkholes?

Back in spring 2023 an Owners’ Corporation Network (OCN) conference covered the literally life and death isuues of disaster planning for strata blocks.

Now they’ve taken it up a notch with what promises to be a very well-informed webinar any strata owner, committee member or professional who has ever wondered what would happen if disaster struck their building should attend.

In fact, especially, those to whom the possibility of strata catastrophe (stratastrophe?) has never occurred should pencil this into their diary.

“Join us at this super-sized webinar as we discuss an issue that should be on the radar for anyone that lives in an apartment building,” OCN says in its press release, asking if our apartment buildings and communities are truly ready for emergencies and disasters.

The webinar

• a short presentation highlighting the findings from OCN’s national survey of emergency preparedness in apartment buildings (spoiler alert – the baseline is worse than they thought) 
• a legal perspective on the duties of care that apply to owners corporations 
• an open panel discussion on the need for urgent reform to raise the standard of emergency preparedness in our apartment communities 
• practical information and ideas for starting a conversation with your apartment community
• Live Q&A. 

Speakers will include experts from insurers, lawyers, strata managers, building facilities managers, community groups and strata schemes and OCN says it will be of interest to strata residents, building and strata managers, Government agencies and community organisations involved in emergency response and recovery as well as local government teams involved in community resilience and emergency coordination.

You can register here and OCN would love you to share this story and link with anyone else who may be interested.
