Is your block’s disaster planning a … disaster?

Would you know what to do if there was a 72-hour power outage in your apartment building? What about the people who simply can’t climb up and down multiple flights of stairs?

In a personal emergency, can first-responders easily access your building to help a resident in medical distress?

Do you know how to use a fire extinguisher? Do you know where yours is kept? Does anyone else know either of these potentially life-saving pieces of vital information?

The Owners Corporation Network (OCN) is conducting a national survey to see how well-prepared apartment communities in Australia are to respond to emergencies and disasters.

The survey offers two options – one for ordinary residents, the other for committee members – and closes on November 30.

The results will be used to inform a free Emergency Planning Toolkit for Apartment Buildings (scheduled for release early 2024).

Go on – take the survey and see how crisis-ready your block is.  You may be surprised, you might even be alarmed.

Ordinary owners, residents and tenants should click here while committee members should click here.
