We could check with our outreach team in DOF to see if they have reached out to all the community board?
Julie Menin
0:44:43
Yeah.
0:44:44
I I think it's it's absolutely imperative.
0:44:46
And it's imperative to let people know about this this online registry because, like, that's something that we, as caregivers, could be checking.
0:44:54
Like, my father, I can say from, you know, personal experience, is not in the position where he would be able to check this registry.
0:45:01
And so it's important that caregivers and families know that they should be routinely checking that, that they should be looking at issues regarding mail and making sure that their loved that their loved ones are not, you know, inadvertently, open you know, compromising some of these issues.
0:45:19
So, community board is important.
0:45:21
In addition, getting this information to all the council members, we can put it in our newsletter.
0:45:26
So that's something, I think, that's a base.
0:45:27
I don't know if you've done that yet, but that would be very important to help disseminate information.
0:45:33
I've got a question on title insurance policy.
0:45:35
So a lot of people don't know if you have this kind of insurance that protects you against deed, theft.
0:45:41
How are we getting that information out there to let people know that this is a a more cost effective way, of of upfront being proactive?
0:45:59
So that was more of a sorry.
0:46:00
That was more of a question to just say title insurance policy.
0:46:03
It's really important that we get that information out to the general public writ large so that people understand that they should purchase that if they are able to do so.
0:46:13
Okay.
0:46:16
I I get my next question is really more around DCWP.
0:46:20
So how would the how are all of you working together?
0:46:23
You've got 3 agencies here.
0:46:25
How are you all working together?
0:46:26
How do we make sure that information is not being siloed and that we have a comprehensive plan to deal with deed theft?
0:46:33
So it's really open question.
