The impact of natural disasters on Australians, our environment, wildlife and communities is devastating and can pose extreme risks to thousands of Australians impacted by storms, floods and bushfires. But what many don’t realise is when homes, commercial and non-residential structures are burnt in bushfires or destroyed by storms, heavy rains or floods, the hidden danger that lurks in one-third of Aussie homes including fibro, brick, weatherboard and clad homes, is asbestos.
Following natural disasters, it’s vital that residential and commercial property owners ensure they manage asbestos safely to protect themselves, their families and their communities from unnecessary exposure to deadly asbestos fibres.
