TCG Announces Hurricane Preparedness Seminar for Condominium Associations in West Palm Beach
The Continental Group (TCG), a FirstService Residential Management company, will host a free Hurricane Preparedness Seminar Panel for Condominium Associations.
- Miami, FL (1888PressRelease) May 15, 2012 - The Continental Group (TCG), a FirstService Residential Management company, will host a free Hurricane Preparedness Seminar Panel for Condominium Associations on Tuesday, May 22nd from 6:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. at the Hilton Palm Beach Airport located at 150 Australian Avenue, West Palm Beach, Florida 33406. The event is open to all residents of the community, Condo Association Board Members and Property Managers.
The Atlantic Hurricane Season begins June 1st and ends November 30st. Compared to 2011, weather patterns will yield a less-conducive environment for tropical storms to develop. Strong, high-level winds are in place over the western and central Caribbean, promoting increased wind shear. If these high-level winds do not abate, increased wind shear will inhibit tropical storm development early in the season.
"When it comes to hurricane preparedness and disaster recovery, TCG, the leading community association management company, offers best practices based on over two decades of experience on the proper way to prepare and protect our communities from hurricanes, as well as provide them with disaster recovery services," said Tim O'Keefe, CEO of The Continental Group.
This seminar will be moderated by Julie Magaldi, Director of High-Rise Operation Assessments for The Continental Group. The interactive panel will discuss best practices in hurricane preparedness and focus on helping attendees create a realistic, functional plan critical for successful preparation, response and recovery should a hurricane strike. Panelists will include Mark Martel, TCG's Vice President of High-Rise for Palm Beach County; Raul Schwedt, Structural & Mechanical PE for RAS Engineers; James Pearlson, Project Manager for RAS Engineers; Dave Vaughn, Certified Arborist for Lukes-Sawgrass Landscaping and Zack Hoffman, Branch Manager for Lukes-Sawgrass Landscaping. Prior to the seminar, over a dozen vendors will exhibit their products and services as related to hurricane preparation and restoration for condominiums. Vendors will include roofers, landscaping services, elevator services and generator providers, to name a few.
Topics will include steps for creating a personal hurricane plan, including: How to protect your community, common areas and property, how to prepare for an evacuation, what to expect before, during and after a storm and community training and preparedness for high-rise condominiums.
