Friend, 

The frequency of natural disasters is on the rise across the nation; earthquakes out west, tornados central, and hurricanes in the east, not to mention a rise in the regularity of fires across the nation in recent years, it’s easy to become overwhelmed at all of the possible scenarios. 

In an industry where seamless execution and precision are the norm, we cannot overlook the crucial role that disaster preparedness plays in our collective success. Events of all scales are not just about delivering memorable experiences; they must also prioritize the safety and well-being of every attendee. Disaster preparedness is more than just a contingency plan; it is a promise to the public, our clients, and ourselves. 

As part of our ongoing commitment to promoting event safety and disaster preparedness, I want to draw your attention to the annual "Great ShakeOut." This event, taking place on October 19th, serves as a poignant reminder of the seismic threats that many regions across the United States face. By participating in the Great ShakeOut, we not only raise awareness about earthquake preparedness but also unite in our dedication to safeguarding lives during events and gatherings.

Stay safe, stay prepared, and let us work together to ensure that the event industry remains a beacon of not only entertainment but also of preparedness and resilience.

In strength,

Chris Joffe
