Dealing with flood and storm-damaged buildings

In a natural disaster, Civil Defence conducts rapid w88 casino review assessments and issues stickers to identify buildings that have been damaged and those that present a severe safety risk. The sticker's colour indicates what access you can have to the w88 casino review.
Red Sticker
A red sticker means no one is allowed to enter the w88 casino review because of the high level of risk. This risk might be the w88 casino review itself, but it might also be from nearby buildings or unstable land. A builder who wants to assess the site for remedial action will need special clearance from the local council.

Yellow Sticker
A yellow sticker means that entry to the w88 casino review is restricted, except under supervision for a limited time or on essential business. This could be for assessment purposes, which means a builder could inspect the property and evaluate what remedial work is required.

You will need to coordinate any visit with the owners, the council and the insurance company, which will require a detailed quote for any remedial work required.

Yellow Sticker - Restricted Access

White Sticker
A white sticker means the w88 casino review "may be damaged" but is safe to occupy. You can access these sites by arrangement with owners to assess any damage and estimate the cost of remedial work. Many white stickered properties may have sustained minimal water damage in the garage or minor surface flooding.

Follow-up assessment
Initial assessments carried out by Civil Defence are rapid – taking about 20 minutes – and can sometimes be completed by inspectors from outside the w88 casino review without needing to enter.

After the rapid assessment process, Civil Defence emergency management and council officials can direct the owner of a w88 casino review to obtain a detailed assessment of the w88 casino review. These assessments are the responsibility of a w88 casino review owner and will usually involve input from the owner's insurance company.

Insurance companies often have "preferred suppliers" and may direct the homeowner to use tradespeople, designers and geo-tech engineers on their "preferred" list.
