Assessing the Risk

• Insurance Information– Broker/agent name, business and

home phone numbers– Name of insurance carrier– Policy number(s)– Policy coverage, limits and

deductibles, copies of policies – if possible.

• Review of Tennant Leases and Insurance Coverage– Who is responsible for insuring the

leased premises?– What perils must each party cover,

all risk or special perils?– What are the policy limits of the

insurance coverage?– How much damage does there

have to be before the leased premises are considered inhabitable?

– What duty does the tenant have to continue to pay rent if the leased premises are not habitable?

– Are the tenants required to provide the owner with a Certificate of liability and/or Evidence of Property Insurance?

Determine the Team

• Communications• Staff Responsibilities and Special Skills

– Identify authorized person(s)– Who is responsible for dealing

with civil authorities?– Who is responsible for notifying

the insurance carriers?– Who has the authority to

authorize emergency services?– Should someone be in charge of

protecting or removing vital records?

– Who is the designated public relations spokesperson?

– Which staff member will take the Emergency Procedures Manual

– Who will coordinate the flow of people and information?

– Similarly, you should survey your staff for their lesser known talents and training

Evacuation Plan

• Who is authorized to call for an evacuation?• Identify the alarm that will notify employees to evacuate. The alarm

must be identifiable and able to be received by all occupants, including those with disabilities such as hearing or sight.

• Assign persons to assist those with disabilities in evacuation.• Identify who is responsible for shutting down critical systems.• Specify the gathering place outside the building and how occupants

will be accounted for.

Tenant Information• How many people occupy each suite?• Which suites are occupied or vacant?• Which occupants may need assistance in

case of an evacuation, especially residents with physical disabilities?

• Which units house families with children and what are the ages of the children?

• Which tenants might use or store potentially dangerous or flammable materials in their units?(e.g. oxygen tanks for breathing assistance)

• For commercial buildings, names and home phone numbers of individual office managers or designated contact person for each space.

• Types of businesses in the building, and specifically

• Insurance Companies - Knowing the insurance carrier, broker/agent of each of the tenants' will allow you to more effectively to resolve claims in your property.

Proactive Remediation Planning

• Main point of contact• Total square footage of each floor – including rooms• Ceiling height of each floor – including rooms, if room ceiling height differs

from main corridor• Total number of rooms per floor
