Asbestos released: inform residents and cordon off the area

If asbestos is released as a result of a fire or demolition, residents need to know quickly what to do. CrisisRadar helps housing associations to provide clear information, cordon off the area and communicate the clean-up process effectively.

The scenario

What happens

Following a fire in a residential block, asbestos has been released. Pieces of material are lying on the street, on balconies and in gardens. Residents do not know whether it is safe to go outside, bring in the washing or let their children play. The housing association must quickly let residents know which area has been cordoned off and what residents are and are not allowed to do. At the same time, the environmental agency and the local council need to coordinate the clean-up and the measurements. Residents want to know how long it will take and who they can contact with any questions.
