PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

The Student Must Prepare for the Teacher to Appear

Larry Miller taught, “When the student is prepared, the teacher

will appear.” This year BOMA Utah is beginning the task of

preparing students for the teacher’s appearance. Its members are

receiving this challenge with enthusiasm.

BOMA Utah has accepted membership on the Lieutenant

Governor’s Homeland Security Private Sector Steering Committee.

Along with this membership, we are assigned the task of

representing Utah’s commercial property owners’ interests during

and immediately after emergency events. We were asked to occupy

a seat in Utah’s new Business Operations Center. During an

emergency event, those in the Center will have direct contact with

the state’s nearby Emergency Operation Center. During events

which critically affect the well being of the state of Utah, its

businesses and residents, the Emergency Operation Center is where

emergency plans are carried out. Our task, as members of BOMA

Utah, is to collect information from and disseminate information to

commercial property owners.

The steering committee iscontinuing its planning for the2012 Utah ShakeOut. Thisexercise will test ourcommunities’ ability to maintainbusiness continuity throughoutand after a major earthquake.During 2011, BOMA Utahmembers will be promotingbasic event planning withcommercial property ownersand their affiliates inpreparation for the ShakeOutand any other disruptive event.Because our society of buildingowners and vendors areinterdependent, it is imperativethat all of us have at least afundamental understanding ofwhat must be done when eventsoccur in order to keep ourbusinesses operating and thecash flowing.

I was once told that nomajor disasters happen inUtah. But, such events arerelative to the individual andthe business. A local fire orflood can create the samedevastation for an individualand a business as those affectedby events encompassed withinlarge geographic areas.

Our members are excitedabout the prospect ofdiscussing business continuityprinciples with those amongwhom they associate. From ourefforts, we expect, whether anunwelcome event is large orsmall, that disruptions will beminimized, especially in issuingpaychecks and for providingthe necessities for our families.Then, the student will be readywhen the ultimate teacherappears.

Sincerely,Jim DerrickBOMA Utah President

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS

The Need to Prepare is RealState, City Officials Instruct BOMA Members on Emergency Preparedness

Society has been flexibleenough to absorb disasters, butrecovery can only be asefficient as the preparation.Leaders of BOMA Utah andits Emergency PreparednessCommittee are urging itsmembers to prepare for adisaster in hopes that whenone does strike, the loss anddamage to the community willbe minimized.

“The neat thing about theBOMA Utah PreparedRecognition Program is itallows us to go to ourcustomers, our tenants, oursuppliers and our vendors andbuild stronger relationshipswith them as we invite them toparticipate in this program,”said Jim Derrick, president ofBOMA Utah. “By participatingin our Prepared RecognitionProgram, you will benefit intimes of both calm andturbulent business.”

Lt. Gov. Greg Bell and SaltLake City EmergencyManagement ProgramDirector Cory Lymanaddressed BOMA Utahmembers during their Marchluncheon about preparedness,business continuity planningand the importance ofbecoming business CERTtrained.

“Mother Nature still has anupper hand on us,” saidLyman, referencing the recentearthquake and tsunami inJapan. “It reminds us that ourpreparation for disasters is notsomething we do once. It is aprocess. It is an ongoing task.”

Disaster is not agovernment problem; it is acommunity problem, Lymansaid. Government cancoordinate and plan, butultimately, it is theresponsibility of the communityto carry out the plan, he said.Businesses are responsible for

their own buildings and their own employees. Being prepared for adisaster is essential to business continuity, Lyman said. There is astrong correlation between preparedness and business failure.Businesses that are able to get back online quickly, are less likely tofail, he said.

Employees should be included in disaster preparation forbusinesses, Lyman said. A select few individuals should be able toprovide first aid, manage an evacuation and provide search andrescue. These employees should be knowledgeable of the buildingdisaster preparedness plan. Employees should also be BusinessCERT (Community Emergency Response Team) trained.

“Having members of your staff who are trained provides a saferenvironment for your employees and your customers,” Lyman said.“We believe that is a responsible approach for businesses to take.”

Other things businesses can do to prepare are to make plans forcommunication, prioritize, think about the what ifs and developrelationships in the community, said Bell. Somebody has to makeemergency response a core competency, and people should betrained in emergency response, he said.

“Have a plan. You won’t be able to use it, but you will havethought about it,” Bell said. “Take a little time out to get prepared.Think about it.”

In order to test the emergency plans of local organizations,residents and industries, the ShakeOut of 2012, a functionalexercise, will be held in Utah from April 17-19, 2012. FEMA willbe organizing the event and developing a scenario that will requirecoordination from everyone in the community, Bell said. The mockevent will be instrumental in preparing Utah for flexibility in theevent of a disaster.

“It seems almost an apocalyptic age. The most amazing thing tome is that our society has been flexible enough to absorb thesedisasters, disasters that in my mind, 20 or 30 years ago would havebrought the whole world to a halt,” Bell said. “It really is an age thatno one could anticipate.”

BOMA Utah President Jim Derrickand BOMA Utah ExecutiveDirector Shelli Menegos sit on theLt. Governor’s Private SectorHomeland Security SteeringCommittee. The committee isresponsible for identifying andcarrying out emergencypreparedness projects that willimprove the capabilities of theprivate sector in supporting thecommunity during a disaster.

BOMA Utah is Leading the Chargein Emergency Preparedness

Various agencies from across Salt Lake County know theimportance of BOMA Utah and the critical role members can playduring an emergency. The Salt Lake County Emergency OfficeCenter (EOC), Salt Lake City Emergency Management and theUtah Department of Public Safety, Homeland Security Division,along with BOMA Utah, have begun implementing a public-private emergency preparedness notification plan and strategy forprotecting occupants.

While it’s rational to assume that Salt Lake City andsurrounding areas are not a key terrorist target, Utah is vulnerableto other threats, including severe snowstorms, tornadoes, dangerousfloods, energy black-outs, fires and earthquakes. To better preparefor such disasters, the Utah ShakeOut Earthquake Exercise isscheduled for April 2012. The ShakeOut is designed to enhancethe capabilities of Salt Lake County, local jurisdictions and SaltLake Valley residents to effectively respond to and recover from acatastrophic earthquake occurring along the Wasatch Front.

BOMA Utah, along with city, state and federal agencies arecreating a plan to boost communications and strategic thinking inthe midst of an emergency. In doing so, the state is at the forefrontof creating an integrated disaster plan. The private-publiccooperation has been undertaken to develop strategies for shelter,evacuation and early warning.

Our goal is to strengthen communication between our memberswho own properties and local emergency response officials.Knowing and communicating well with our neighbors, especially incoordinating emergency plans and procedures, is also important.

One communication capability that exists within the Salt LakeValley is the Public Information Emergency Response (PIER)System. The PIER System is an all-in-one, web-based solution forcrisis communications management, mass notification, public andmedia relations and business continuity. Our members are stronglyencouraged to register on PIER, under the BOMA Utah group, atwww.utahemergencyinfo.com/go/mailinglist/2515/.

Currently, BOMA Utah has representatives that sit on thePrivate Sector Homeland Security Coordinating Council as well asthe Lt. Governor’s Private Sector Homeland Security SteeringCommittee. We have been asked to join the newly created SaltLake Valley Steering Committee and recently participated in theSalt Lake Valley Venue Evacuation workshop and FEMA RegionVIII ShakeOut tabletop exercise.

As part of our continued effort, we will begin to update ouronline member database and will ask every member to providedetailed information regarding buildings owned/managed bymembers, key tenants, 365-24/7 contact information for everyfacility, vendor services provided, key personnel, etc. This is criticaland necessary information from our members if we are to succeed.

Property/facility managers, if you are not currently a member ofBOMA, you will be missing out on some of the most importantplanning and disaster preparedness programs in the industry, as noother real estate organization in the state of Utah has been asked toparticipate on any level.

Think it through for a moment. Your building is beingevacuated. Your neighbor’s building is evacuating. Are your

occupants/tenants all congregating to the same area? How are youaccounting for your employees and tenants? Do you have amemorandum of understanding with various buildings? How willyou be notified of an after-hours emergency? Do you have a 72-hour kit at your office, and what does it consist of? Do you shelterin place or evacuate? And who makes that call?

It’s not if a disaster will occur and impact businesses, it’s amatter of when. Fire drills and other preparedness drills seeminconsequential when deadlines are pending. However, building adynamic communications plan, knowing where to go and what todo, is a serious matter in the event of an emergency, and BOMAUtah will be your source for that information.
