UPDATED Friday March 26th

All Owners and Residents are WELCOME and STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to participate in our ZOOM Life Safety Seminar. While we’ve spent the last year collectively interacting in the slowly unfolding COVID-19 Pandemic, public health emergency, we can’t forget the need to be prepared for other emergencies. Some of which require thoughtful advance planning, and quick thinking as events transpire.

Instructions for attending the meeting are below in the original post.

In this meeting we will cover the following topics:

I. Fire Emergencies

We will talk about the best suggestions for responding to a fire emergency, and why in a building such as Park Tower it is most often safest to remain in your Unit.

Not evacuating unless directed or you are in immediate danger, and NEVER using an elevator in a Fire Emergency.

II. Severe Weather Response

What to do when you hear the air raid sirens during inclement weather, or TV and radio alerts of severe weather.

AND, why you should not proceed to the lobby.

III. Active Shooter (or Hostile Individual) Response

What to do if you learn of an active shooter situation in your vicinity, or hear gun shots, or when an otherwise hostile individual is present.

IV. Flooding and Leaking

What to do in the event you observe flooding or leaking, and why it is important not to ignore even trivial leaks.

V. Pest Infestations

Why pest infestations can be considered an emergency too.

TOWN HALL MEETING

Life Safety and Emergency Response

AND Updated Emergency Contact Information

Saturday March 27th at 11AM via ZOOM 

There is no perfect way to respond when an emergency strikes. What we see around us from moment to moment and basic human instincts and behavior will always somewhat govern how we act. However, there are tried and true principles we can share to help you prepare and program how you respond should a serious incident arise.

Please join us for a presentation via ZOOM Meetings Online about basic high rise life safety and emergency response, at 11am on Saturday March 27^th. The meeting ID #826-1942-5787 is, and a link to the meeting is: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82619425787. Or call in at 1-312-626-6799.

We will be discussing the City’s “C.A.L.M.” emergency action plan for high rise residents, how it fits in to our procedures at Park Tower and can help guide residents’ preparations and response in the event of an emergency.  Residents who attend will learn some basics on how best to respond during emergencies, including how and when to exit your unit when the need arises.

Our preliminary outline for the meeting follows:

I. Fire Emergencies

II. Severe Weather Response

III. Active Shooter Response

IV. Flooding and Leaking

V. Pest Infestations

Also, WE ARE UPDATING OUR EMERGENCY PROCEDURES HANDBOOK and RESIDENT EMERGENCY CONTACT IN FORMATION! (Click Here: Resident Contact Info Form 03.2021) In preparation for this Town Hall event, and for good measure, we are updating our Handbook, including our database of emergency contacts for owners and residents, and those who have requested assistance in the event of an emergency.  PLEASE USE THIS OPPORTUNITY to make sure we have your most recent contact information on file. On the back side of this form, you will find our emergency contact form for this purpose. 

We hope everyone who can, participates on Saturday March 27^th at 11am via ZOOM.
