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.

Toward that end, we will be asking residents to cooperate with participation in emergency procedure drills and looking about their apartments for items that could cause a fire. These items are electric extension cords and multi-plugs plugged into a regular outlet which must be removed (one power strip of no more than six plugs with a circuit breaker is allowed for each bedroom in the apartment), any oxygen bottles MUST be in a crate so that they stand up straight and cannot fall down, apartment doors are to be kept closed except when residents are moving in and out of the door. Smoking is not permitted anywhere on Park Regency property by anyone.
