Isaac Tropical System
Update
8/27/2012
3:30PM 1515/1555 Poydras
Buildings are under an EMERGENCY ALERT and will be closed Tuesday, August 28,
2012 through Wednesday, August 29, 2012 as a result of the New Orleans Metro
Region being under a HURRICANE WARNING. It is anticipated that the buildings
will reopen on Thursday, August 30, 2012.
The
buildings will remain open today, under normal operating hours. Janitorial
Services will be provided this evening.
The
Parking Garages will close at 7:00PM this evening and secured. There will
be no further access to the parking garages until the buildings reopen on
Thursday, August 30, 2012. This means there is no entry or exit to/from the
parking garages.
On
Tuesday and Wednesday, there will be no building services. Elevator
service will cease at noon or earlier on Tuesday as the weather warrants.
(Elevator service technicians will not be available due to weather and travel
restrictions.)
For
Tenants who are part of the infrastructure support locally, regionally and
nationally, that are required to be onsite, through events such as hurricanes,
your firm will be required (as in the past), to review and sign the proper
release forms in advance. A release is required for each individual to be
allowed access to the buildings on Tuesday and/or Wednesday.
Further
updates will be issued as warranted.

11:00AM JLL Management continues to
monitor the Isaac Tropical System. We are under a Hurricane Warning for the
metro area. This morning, the building team has begun hurricane preparations at
both buildings. All firms are encouraged to prepare their premises and
implement their emergency plans. Our team will follow the directives of the local
and state officials. Further updates will be issued as warranted.
Key
Points to Keep in Mind:
The
Parking Garages are not a safe haven for any and all vehicles and should not
be utilized for this purpose. As of 10:00AM today, parking is only
available to Contract Parkers. Access to the Garages
will be limited and access to the Parking Garage will not be a priority before,
during or immediately after any emergency.
Office
preparations…please prepare your
offices with special concentration on perimeter offices, electronic equipment,
etc. Also, please clean out your refrigerators
and throw away any perishable food items before you leave your office today.
Please refer to the 2012 Hurricane Information that is attached to
this advisory for further details. It includes how you and your employees
can keep up-to-date with on-going advisories.
At
this time while a decision is pending, it is anticipated that the buildings
will be closed for Tuesday and Wednesday. The final decision will be
based on the directives of local and state officials.
