How to Best Prepare your Commercial Property for Severe Winter Weather Events<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When severe winter weather is in the forecast, both snow & ice management contractors and property owners\/managers need to be on the same page in order to reduce potential risk and liability.
\nProlonged freezing rain events, or two-day \u201cblizzards\u201d with crippling wind and snowfall amounts, can prove costly in both human terms and financial costs. In either case, the damage can be as severe as the weather itself.<\/p>\n

Crucial Steps<\/h4>\n

Awareness and the cooperative exchange of planning information are two of the most crucial steps required for snow contractors and property owners\/managers to literally \u201cweather the storm\u201d successfully.<\/p>\n

Communication<\/h4>\n

When these types of severe weather events are expected, MPS Property Services will provide our customers with an e-mail communication detailing both an assessment of the incoming weather and our operational plan to effectively manage the storm. Information such as the expected timing of the \u201cevent\u201d and our operational response(s) are vital for minimizing any potential property damage, slip & fall or productivity risks. By providing our clients with this advance information, we hope to improve their knowledge of \u201csnow fighting\u201d strategies and help manage their expectations over the course of the storm.<\/p>\n

Best Practices for Property Owners & Managers<\/h4>\n

We also hope to assist property owners & managers in communicating some best practices for dealing with severe weather, with their \u201cpeople\u201d on-site, ahead of the storm event.
