BOMA/Suburban Chicago Podcast Series: A Trusted Voice in Commercial Real Estate

When emergencies strike in your building, you must act quickly. Sometimes, you won’t have an emergency plan in place for your real-life situation because you can’t always plan for everything. That’s why discussions with your peers regarding best practices and lessons learned from disasters and emergency situations are a great way to learn from others in this industry and help you prepare for situations that you may face in the future.

In this episode of BOMA/Suburban Chicago’s A Trusted Voice in Commercial Real Estate, you’ll hear from property managers discussing their own emergency scenarios that took place in their buildings, and from a Preparedness Director with Cook County Emergency Management. Find out what they did to resolve the situations, learn the approaches that worked the best, and apply their experiences to your properties!
