Emergency & Disaster Preparation
Parking and transportation professionals go to work every day knowing that at any moment an emergency could turn things upside-down. As parking and transportation professionals charged with the safety and welfare of our customers and stakeholders, we have only one responsible choice: prepare. Being prepared for an emergency requires having the right knowledge, skills, policies and procedures in place to not only fulfill departmental roles, but also to function professionally and sensibly in unexpected scenarios.
- Provide guidance to individuals, public and private entities who will be able to understand basic principles in planning for an event which may or may not occur.
- Explain to others the value in having a plan which includes knowing what items to have readily available, where to go for safety and where to go for assistance after an event.
- Recognize the need to evaluate a post-disaster situation in terms of what is next, how do I personally recover and how does my business or organization recover.
