Winterizing House of Worship Facilities (continued)
Insight Journal posted Winterization for Commercial Real Estate Properties: Essential Preparations for Building Operations.
The post provides technical details for qualified maintainers of HVAC and sprinkler systems.
The post also details the following less technical steps for winterizing a building:
- Service and Store Landscaping Equipment
- Winterize Irrigation Lines
- Inspect Roofs and Drains
- Ensure Emergency Generators are Operational
- Stock Ice Melt and Prepare Spill Containment
- Evaluate Ice Fall Hazards and Tenant Safety
- Update Emergency Contact Lists and On-Call Schedules
Analyst Comments:
While houses of worship and their facilities may not qualify as Commercial Real Estate Properties, the Winterization for Commercial Real Estate Properties: Essential Preparations for Building Operations post can be used by Faith-Based Organizations (FBO) to winterize their facilities. Yesterday’s Faith-Based Daily Awareness Post (DAP) highlighted other recommendations for winterizing FBO facilities.
As was mentioned in yesterday’s DAP, in addition to hostile attacks, FBOs should consider planning and preparing for “routine” hazards.
