Successful Evacuation Drill Performed Today

Today (August 28th), we ran a successful evacuation drill.

The drill was started at 2:25 PM this afternoon, and ran smoothly.

We had set an evacuation time goal of 30 minutes, we are proud to say that the evacuation was carried out in 15 minutes. We ran a very safe drill, and everyone is pleased with the outcome. As our first evacuation drill performed at Park Regency, the drill passed our expectations, and we feel we could not have hoped for anything more the first go-round. Evacuation drills will only be performed once a year.

The drill did show us what worked, as well as what didn't work as well. Thanks to this drill, we can address anything that caused a wrinkle in the evacuation, and, in the case of an actual evacuation due to flooding, power outage, or damage to the building that renders it unlivable for a short or prolonged time, we will better know what to expect.

We would like to thank all the residents for their wonderful cooperation, and all the staff involved for their good work.
