Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic: Exercise Starter Kit

FEMA released a kit to help organizations plan for resuming operations during COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. The kit includes a fact sheet, sample slides, and a facilitator guide with suggested discussion questions that can be tailored to meet the needs of your organization or agency.

As organizations across the country plan for when and how to resume full operations while protecting the well-being and safety of their employees and communities, FEMA has created an Exercise Starter Kit to help organizations facilitate their own internal workshops based on reconstitution planning principles, the White House’s Guidelines for Opening Up America Again and a FEMA fact sheet on “ Planning Considerations for Organizations in Reconstituting Operations During the COVID-19 Pandemic.”

The Exercise Starter Kit has been a collaborative effort by FEMA’s National Exercise Division and National Continuity Programs in support of the COVID-19 Task Force on Continuity of Operations and Essential Services.

BOMA Members Prepare for Re-Entry

Reporting live once again from my home office turned film studio, welcome to another at home edition of our monthly vlog! It’s now mid-May (for those of you who need a reminder) and markets across the U.S. are beginning to reopen, making the topic of building re-entry the focus of industry discussions. Since shelter-in-place orders were first issued, BOMA and its members have been working tirelessly to get ahead on what re-entry might entail, guiding the commercial real estate sector through a bevy of resources and offerings dedicated to the subject. In today’s vlog , I’ll highlight some of the key re-entry considerations property professionals are tackling, from procuring sanitation products to enforcing social distancing. And, don’t forget to visit BOMA International's Coronavirus Resource Center for the most up-to-date resources, such as guidance documents, webinar recordings and helpful articles and links.

Throughout this crisis, the BOMA network has remained agile, collaborative and impactful. Together, we will continue to overcome challenges—unprecedented as they might be—and help our communities and businesses move forward.

Be well,

Henry H. Chamberlain, APR, FASAE, CAE
