MOVING & REMEDIATION RESOURCES
Surviving Mold Consensus Statement on Remediation If you choose remediation, there’s a lot of information to be found, so we suggest starting with this in-depth consensus by a panel of experts including Dr. Shoemaker, which sets remediation guidelines for those affected by CIRS and mold illness.
The HERSTMI-2 Scorecard When you have confirmation of mold illness, you’ll need to find out if your building’s mold levels are safe for CIRS patients.
TheHERTSMI-2 scoring system is a building index which determines if a given building is CIRS-safe for occupancy. A score of 11 is borderline, and extreme caution is advised for those with CIRS to have exposure.
CIRS House Hunting Guide Written by a collaboration of medical and environmental professionals within the CIRS community, this practical guide clearly illustrates how to identify a water damaged building, before you decide to move in.
