#Hotel mass casualty- A brief read. A Hotel Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) requires rapid coordination, clear communication, and effective response to minimize harm. The Hospitality Security Manager must activate the Emergency Action Plan (EAP), facilitate evacuation or shelter-in-place procedures, and establish a triage area for the injured. Collaboration with emergency services is critical, including sharing hotel layouts, guest registers, and surveillance. Crowd control, first aid support, and ongoing updates to guests and staff ensure safety and order. Post-incident, the focus shifts to recovery—providing medical and emotional support, assisting investigations, repairing damage, and revising safety protocols. Effective preparation and execution safeguard lives and reputation.

We understand that emergencies cause major inconvenience, however, we have your back. When an emergency arises, don't panic. Call 888-847-4449 to get your facility back up and running! SLM Facility Solutions Nationwide #facilitymanagement #facilitymaintenance #emergency #emergencymaintenance

Emergency Exits   You hear this instruction from the flight attendant every time you travel on a commercial flight: “Take a moment to locate the exit nearest you, keeping in mind that the closest usable exit may be located behind you.”   Why do they tell you this before the flight? Because they want you to know where to go if there is an emergency, and they want you to start thinking about that NOW.    In any emergency situation, there are two things that you can count on:   1 Time is precious.  Mere seconds may be the difference between life and death. The sooner everybody knows what to do, the quicker they can react appropriately… and the faster everybody can hopefully get to safety.   2 Having a plan helps keep you calm.  The most difficult emergency situation is the one where you have no idea what to do. But, if you have a plan of action, then you already know what to do and you can immediately start to act, even if you’re scared while you’re doing it. This will help you stay calm and focus on what you need to do.   Just like on a flight, one of the things you can do to prepare for an active shooter event, or other workplace emergency, is to preplan your exit. Just like on a commercial flight, you want to do this BEFORE an emergency happens.   Do you know where all the exits are from your building? How many stairwells are there? Could you find them in the dark (power outage, smoke in the building, etc.)? Are there windows you can use as exits?   As an employee, you should consider these things and even practice taking the different exit routes occasionally. As a leader in an organization, you should consider adding these considerations to your safety plans.    Prepare yourself and prepare your team. If you’d like more help with this type of training, please contact us at Panthera7. We would be honored to work with you. Have a great day and stay safe! #preparedness #safety #security #activeshooter #training #education

Fire strategy in Hotels: A strong fire strategy ensures the safety of all occupants, builds trust with guests, and reduces legal and financial risks. It demonstrates a commitment to protecting lives and property while maintaining operational integrity during emergencies. Some Steps to Develop a Fire Strategy for Hotels: 1. Fire Risk Assessment: Identify hazards and evaluate risks to guests and staff. 2. Compartmentation: Use fire-resistant walls and doors to contain fire and smoke. 3. Means of Escape: Plan clear, accessible escape routes within allowable travel distances. 4. Fire Detection and Alarm Systems: Install automatic smoke and heat detectors. 5. Evacuation Strategy: Develop plans such as simultaneous evacuation. 6. Firefighting Provisions: Equip with extinguishers, sprinklers, and firefighting shafts. 7. Communication: Use clear signage and multilingual instructions for evacuation. #firesafety #hotel_safety #firestrategy #fire_safety #risk_assessment
