Focus on efficient evacuation concepts - expert knowledge for safe buildings

Hamburg, November 10, 2024 - In times of increasing risks and growing demands on operational safety, the importance of well thought-out evacuation concepts is becoming ever more important. Next Wednesday, November 13, 2024, FM-Connect.com invites you to the FM Power Hour to share expert knowledge and best practices on the topic of "Efficient Evacuation". This event is aimed at facility management professionals, security managers, building owners and managers who want to optimize their evacuation strategies to ensure the safety of their employees and visitors.

The FM Power Hour provides a unique platform for sharing expertise and presenting innovative solutions to improve evacuation safety in companies and public facilities.

Exclusive interview with Kay Meyer, Managing Director of FM-Connect.com

Question: Mr. Meyer, why is the topic of evacuation so important right now?

Kay Meyer:
"The world is becoming increasingly complex and uncertain. Whether it's fires, natural disasters or potential threats such as terrorist attacks or rampages, companies and public institutions need to be prepared. In such situations, a well-planned evacuation can save lives and prevent significant damage to property. With the FM Power Hour, we want to provide facility managers and security officers with the knowledge they need to make their evacuation concepts more efficient."

Question: What typical weaknesses do you see in existing evacuation plans?

Kay Meyer:
"There is often too much focus on creating documents without paying sufficient attention to the practical aspects. Companies tend to create evacuation plans once and then let them gather dust in a drawer. It is crucial to review and adapt these plans regularly. In addition, there is often a lack of emergency drills to ensure that employees really know what to do in an emergency."

Question: How can modern technologies support evacuation processes?

Kay Meyer:
"Digitalization offers enormous potential here. For example, intelligent building automation systems, IoT sensors and real-time alarm systems enable fast and targeted evacuation. These systems can provide information about sources of danger and escape routes in real time, thereby significantly increasing safety. At the FM Power Hour, we will be presenting various technologies that help to make evacuations more efficient and safer."

Question: What can participants expect at the upcoming FM Power Hour?

Kay Meyer:
"We offer a comprehensive insight into the planning, implementation and optimization of evacuations. It's about creating legally compliant evacuation plans, integrating modern technologies, but also about the human aspects, such as training employees. We will also share best practices from various industries and provide space for the exchange of experiences."

Question: What long-term benefits do you see for companies that optimize their evacuation concepts?

Kay Meyer:
"A well-planned evacuation not only protects human lives, but also increases employee confidence in the company's safety measures. Companies can also minimize legal risks and strengthen their reputation at the same time by taking proactive measures. In an emergency, this can make all the difference."
