Enhancing Condominium Safety: Insights from Thomas Skiba, CEO

Hey there, folks! Today I want to share some insights on condominium safety, especially in light of recent events that have shaken us all to the core. I can’t help but remember the morning I woke up to the horrifying news of the Champlain Tower South building collapse on June 24th, 2021. It’s a stark reminder of how crucial it is to prioritize safety in all aspects of our lives, especially in our homes.

Putting Safety First

When it comes to condominium safety, the Community Associations Institute (CAI) has been at the forefront. Their members have volunteered their time and expertise to prevent such disasters by providing valuable tools, guidelines, and best practices to ensure that tragedies like the one in Champlain Tower South never happen again.

• CI members have dedicated themselves to making building safety an ongoing priority.
• CI provides free materials to prevent disasters, downloadable at c online.org/condosafety.

New Public Policy Framework

In response to the Champlain Tower South tragedy, CAI has developed a new public policy framework for condo safety. This framework has already been adopted in Florida and New Jersey, setting a new standard for safety regulations in condominiums across the country. You can find more details about this groundbreaking policy at c online.org/condosafety.

Commitment to Prevention

Thomas Skiba, the CEO of CAI, has been vocal about the organization’s commitment to ensuring that everything possible is done to prevent such disasters. By advocating for stricter safety measures and regulations, CI aims to create a safer environment for all condominium residents.

In conclusion, condominium safety is not just a matter of compliance; it’s a moral imperative. By following the guidelines set forth by organizations like CAI and staying informed about the latest safety practices, we can all contribute to making our homes safer and more secure. Remember, safety starts with each one of us. Stay safe, everyone!

Done.
