Emergency
Preparedness
Emergency
planning has always been an essential part of property management
but it has taken on an even greater significance since the tragic
events of September 11th. We are constantly reminded that
international and domestic terrorism and natural disasters must be
included in our emergency planning process considering September
11th, the Oklahoma City bombing, and the hurricane season of 2004.
An emergency plan is a set of
actions intended to reduce the threat from emergencies that may
affect a building or facility. It must be building specific to be
effective as all facilities and buildings are different. A
comprehensive plan reduces the threat of emergencies through
prevention, early detection, notification, effective evacuation or
relocation measures, control and mitigation, and recovery
operations.
You should establish relationships
with federal, state, and local agencies to understand any resources
that may be available to you should an emergency occur. BOMA
International has numerous publications available for purchase that
will assist you during your planning process. BOMA Birmingham
members may check out these publications from our local BOMA
library.
Numerous emergency plan outlines and
planning aids are available on the internet. BOMA Birmingham
encourages you to visit the links at the left for more information
