Our properties exist in a world of extreme uncertainty. From the COVID-19 pandemic to earthquakes to wildfires, our management teams face challenges unprecedented from the past. But we don't need to take a doom-and-gloom or “sky is falling” approach, which inevitably leads to us becoming weaker. Instead, we can take what others would call a “disaster” and transform it into a “disruption” that actually makes our properties stronger and more resilient than before.
This presentation is more than just talking about the tools of disaster plans, training, drills, or fancy equipment. The emphasis will be on the “Culture of Preparedness” that a property has to develop to ensure a robust response capability that energizes those tools into a transformative response machine to whatever disasters they face.
Longtime WMA presenter and emergency preparedness expert Patrick Hardy will use his usual energetic, exciting delivery to leave the audience with a fresh approach to their disaster preparedness programs.
