The nation hit an unfortunate anniversary last month, observing ten years since Hurricane Katrina and the disastrous aftermath. In a way, one minor problem with such milestones is that it points us toward the past while we may not be paying adequate attention to what to do in advance of the next such strike.
To that end, and in the same spirit that we provided some mechanical/structural reminders a while back after a significant earthquake in California, I’d like to pass along some tips that Johnson Controls sent out a few weeks ago. This sort of prep and contemplation is not something we always gravitate toward naturally, but there’s no denying the difference it can make in terms of performance, property, and possibly even lives.
