Emergency Plan Accessibility: Display accessible emergency plans in common areas for tenant guidance. 2. Emergency Response Team (ERT): Form a dedicated team to coordinate emergency responses. 3. Comprehensive Tenant Agreements: Create agreements outlining emergency protocols and expectations. 4. Reliable Communication System: Implement a dependable system for real-time updates during crises. 5. Business Continuity Plan (BCP): Develop a BCP to minimize disruptions and ensure a swift return to normalcy.
