When it Hits the Fan: Preparing for the Worst - NASCO Institute

Session materials from "When it Hits the Fan: Preparing for the Worst," presented by Alex Green at NASCO Institute 2015.

--

Owning a home is a lot of responsibility, especially when you’re trying to build a community with so many co-opers. Crises sometimes seem to be popping up around every corner. This workshop aims to prepare you for these unexpected twists in cooperative living. We will not only discuss the different emergencies that can surface in a cooperative house but also how to prepare for and respond to them.
