Tradie Tour - storm season

This Tradie Tour was all about getting you ready for storm season. It provided information about building and construction in cyclone-prone regions, and how best to retrofit older homes to reduce damage from cyclones and storms in our live webinar.

Dr Henderson talked about:

the performance of modern buildings in Tropical Cyclone (TC) Marcia and TC Debbie, including:
- changes to codes and standards
