The New Orleans area is currently watching the expected tropical system in the Gulf of Mexico.  Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) is closely monitoring this tropical system that has strengthened this afternoon into a Tropical Storm Lee south of the Louisiana coast…heavy rain bands continue to spread across much of southeastern and south-central Louisiana. 

   

Since this tropical system is expected to produce heavy rain with the potential for flooding in our metro area, please keep in mind that  the Parking Garage is not a safe haven for vehicles and should not be utilized for this purpose.  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.  In addition, the 1555 Parking Garaqe is closed this weekend for Phase II of the 1555 Poydras Mechanical Retrofit. 

Be on alert! The strength and path of these types of weather systems can quickly change. Since Tropical Storm Lee will 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 storm. In addition, please review our Building Emergency Preparedness Plan. 

JLL will continue monitoring the tropical storm 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”.
