Since its inception in 2004, National Preparedness Month has been part of a governmental effort to strengthen the United States’ preparedness capabilities. In CRE, we utilize preparedness tools that encompass prevention, protection, response, and recovery efforts to prepare our properties for all hazards – whatever the event. This month serves as a great reminder to reinforce prevention tools we have in place, or implement the ones we don’t.
As a third party to the industry offering comprehensive apps and services, ETS provides the tools managers can use to effectively prepare tenants for, as well as mediate, an extenuating circumstance in an around a property. While preparedness remains the ultimate priority, tenants will take solace and comfort in simply knowing that such resources are at their disposal.

BEFORE AN EVENT
1. Conduct an Emergency Audit. Ask…
- Do we have a centralized Emergency Preparedness resource?
- Is this tenant management software available on mobile?
- Do we have alert messaging capabilities?
- Do we know if our tenants are aware and using preparedness resources?
2. Set Up an Electronic Tenant® Portal with Critical Emergency Info

Some use cases:

- Bomb Threat
- Civil Disturbances
