Lightning rule: no outdoor placement once thunder is audible
AGM talking points (five minutes)
- Shared drains and parkade lips are common-property risk
- Measured bags beat improvisation during warnings
- Owners must not redirect water onto neighbours
- Restock is a budget line, not an afterthought
Expand operations with condo flood prep, parkade sandbags, and bulk staging.
Annual drill
Once per year, walk priority doors dry, confirm the storage label is accurate, and replace torn stock. Photograph the reserve for insurance and board records using ideas from the photo checklist. After any real event, update counts within 48 calm hours.
What to vote on
Approve a minimum reserve quantity, an after-hours authority to order delivery, and a communication template for residents. That trio prevents hallway arguments while water is already at the lip.
FAQ
What belongs on a condo flood one-pager?
Contacts, storage location, bag count, priority openings, discharge direction, supplier phone, and the lightning stop rule.
Should owners place shared-property bags?
Only if the board plan assigns trained adults; otherwise facilities or the manager leads deployment.
How often should the plan be reviewed?
At least annually and within days after any real deployment.
