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!

Participants:

Jason Sowers, Moderator, Business Development Manager, Allied Universal Security

Deb Pyznarski, BOMA Fellow, RPA, Senior General Manager, Lincoln Property Company

Latesha Tubbs, MBA, IPEM, Deputy Director of Preparedness, Cook County Emergency Management
