Monitoring the Tropical System in the Gulf

The New Orleans area is currently watching the expected tropical system in the Gulf of Mexico.  Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) is closely keeping an eye on this tropical system. 

Be on alert since the tropical disturbance is expected to have increasingly organized thunderstorm activity.  The strength and path of these types of weather systems may quickly change. Since this tropical disturbance has the potential to affect our area over the weekend, we strongly encourage your firm to pay close attention to the news and government agencies for tropical storm updates.  In addition, we recommend that each tenant re-familiarize yourself with your firm’s hurricane / business interruption plan and continue to monitor the status of the disturbance. In addition, please review our Building Emergency Preparedness Plan. 

          

JLL will continue monitoring the disturbance and determine if further advisories are warranted.  

We appreciate your support and cooperation in helping to insure the safety of all tenants of the building.  Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Management Office at 504-585-2670.

Massive Marsh Fire In New Orleans East

As you know, there is a massive marsh fire in New Orleans East. We are aware of the Air Quality Index advisory which is indicating that sensitive groups such as those people with respiratory ailments should take additional precautions prescribed by the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality.

Building Management is carefully monitoring the situation. In accordance with this advisory, the Fresh Air Intake has been disabled at this time and indoor air is being re-circulated and conditioned.  You might notice the odor from the marsh fire while in the buildings but please note the building air is “conditioned”.

Building Management is following the City of New Orleans for updates,

status and will keep you informed accordingly.

Thank you…

Jones Lang LaSalle
