Those of you that know me or have been to one of my workshops have heard me talk about emergency preparedness. On occasion we as property managers are faced with the many types of challenges related to the topic. I have instructed companies and associations on how to prepare for them and presented to hundreds of managers all over the country. This past week the Northeast was dealt an unforgiving hand with Hurricane Sandy, and I personally had to deal with a fire a my community. These events emphasize the importance of being prepared and expecting the unexpected.

Now we have had issues on occasion with ground faults related to the alarms, but there had been no storms or anything to lead me to believe it could be that. The person says, we have a fire trouble signal in Building 3. I ask, is it a trouble alert or fire? Then I hear that four letter word we never want to hear, "fire." Ok Larry, take a breath and think...rule number one!
