Isaac Update



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. 


8/27/2012 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.
