Emergency preparedness is crucial to saving lives and property during an emergency. In the post 9/11 world, property managers must double their efforts to develop an emergency response plan and prepare building occupants to act in case of emergency. At the May 11 Emergency Preparedness Summit, PMA will provide the guidance necessary to develop and implement effective emergency response plans for different types of multifamily and commercial properties.
First Responders
After opening remarks, the Summit will begin with presentations by first responders: fire, police, medical and Red Cross representatives. They will describe assistance that they can offer and how property management professionals can best capitalize on it when emergencies occur. Topics include:
• a blue print for equipping residents and tenants with the tools they need to respond to emergencies
• developing and implementing a clear, concise and effective communication policy
• evacuation dos and don’ts
• temporary housing assistance for displaced residents
• responding to medical emergencies
• securing the site after the flames have been extinguished
• initial steps for cleanup and restoration
Best Practices in Action: A Case History of a Disaster
PMA Fellow and Past President Jack Gallagher (Polinger Shannon & Luchs) and Minkoff Company Director of Business Development Greg Minkoff will share best practices that have helped them to deal with real-life disasters.
Evacuation Plans and Strategies
Charlotte Franklin from the Office of Emergency Management will relate how to craft evacuation plans and strategies for different types of properties. She will explain how to identify local and out-of-the area evacuation sites and resources that are available from the federal government to assist in crafting and implementing evacuation plans. She also will explain how to prepare for and respond to medical emergencies such as swine flu.
Best Practices Panel: Top 5 Dos and Don’ts
The Summit will continue with a series of best practices panel discussions for both residential and commercial managers tapping the experience and expertise of leading risk management and mitigation professionals. This program is grounded in practical applications, taking attendees through all phases of a disaster. At each point, experts in fields of emergency response – government, insurance, media relations, resident and tenant relations and construction – will explain their roles and how they can best be used to prepare for and respond to emergencies.
