If we ever had the big one..and btw a Big One can strikeNY.  Chuck Scarborough wrote a great book about this..can't recall the book's title...but if we ever had a big one, its important to have a plan for oyur business.

If you own commercial real estate what would you do if oyur property was compromised?

Do you have a plan of action for your building in conjunction with local police and fire.  Does the property manager have your cell phone(yes-you the Owner).

We seldom think th middle of the country will have a big earthquake but my wive keeps saying the Mississippi river is over a large fault and it could be devastating in the worst case draining the Great Lakes.
