Managing Facilities and High -end Homes in Hurricane Prone Zones - with specific focus on the Caribbean


I live in an active hurricane area where our hurricane season runs from May to October each year.  We have been known to have hurricanes in November also with September month being the most active. 

Areas I wish to address includes causes, climate change, impact, sustainable building material, risks, mitigation and recovery, insurance.  I will consider planning as regards coastal erosion from ocean surges, building set-backs.  I will also include the business and operational significance of managing high-end, luxury facilities while showing how design and construction can have an impact on durability and the ability of the facility to withstand hurricanes and the natural spin-offs of hurricanes to include flooding, mud/ land slides and in some cases earthquakes in the Caribbean.  How to manage and protect electrical, mechanical and data services during before, during and after a storm in addition to major components such as roofs, windows and doors. 

In essense I will be including things learnt from construction technology and facilities management and applying them.  I am passionate about this topic after nearly experiencing two devastating hurricanes and in light of the trauma caused last hurricane season in the Bahamas.

Also, properties in our area affected by hurricanes often become the subject of insurance claims and are also of importance to banking and lending institutions and as such these institutions often request valuations post hurricane damage.  I am keen to be an expert in the area.  Building construction, engineering, repairs, maintenance,  and procurement is of interest to me s it falls in-line within my family group of companies which includes retail automotive and hardware shops, general construction and property management and manufacturer of medical and industrial gases. 

I hope to explore some planning permission and strategies as regards specialist planning decisions, government planning controls and sustainable development and how it all ties in to risk assessment and tolerance as it relates to the Caribbean.

• Fundamentals of the design and construction process and the critical decision-making process
• Appraisal of alternative of design and construction solutions
• Characteristics of ground conditions and the design and construction of foundation solutions
• Structural forms using a variety of structural materials
• Means of building enclosure in the forms of roofs and walls
• Internal space division techniques including walls and floors
• Internal surface finishes
• Mechanical and electrical installations
• Selection and application of mechanical construction plant and its impact upon productivity and quality
• The strategic significance of facilities management for organizations and the relationship to organizational
effectiveness
• The principles of delivery of facilities management services
• Facilities and property management strategies
• Systems of procurement and commercial terms of engagement
• Measurement of facilities performance
• Workplace design and performance and its impact upon organizational goal achievement
• The management and utilization of corporate built assets
• The environmental impact of facilities management
• Business continuity planning and management

•    The role of the property manager.
•    Good practice principles in property management and agency.
•    The development of an effective Asset Management Plan
•    Property management by property sector
o    Private sector property management (commercial and residential)

Module 05 Project

Executive Summary for Wellness Program


Competency
Create professional documents for presenting research, analysis, and business strategy recommendations.
Scenario
You work at a small startup company and recently began an informal competition among a few of your co-workers counting your daily steps. The program went well. It was a great team building exercise and others in your company seemed interested in participating. You decided that you wanted to turn this into a formal company-wide initiative.
In your investigation you found information about other companies that not only had similar programs, but that they had fully developed wellness programs. Further, your investigation revealed the benefits for both employees and employers. For employees, you found that those who participate enjoy reduced healthcare costs and a sense of engagement in the workplace. The benefits to employers include things like reduced workers compensation claims, lower absenteeism and higher overall productivity.
As a result, you determined that all could benefit from not just a ‘step’ program, but a formalized wellness program. You then distributed a very brief survey to determine the level of interest and what aspects of wellness your coworkers showed interest. You distributed a survey to all employees (30) and the results of your survey are displayed below:

            
Would you participate in a wellness program?    Rate your level of interest in the following wellness topics
1 = least interested 5= very interested        
    Weight management    Nutrition    Stress management
Yes    5    5    3
Yes    3    3    5
No    1    1    5

No    1    1    1
Yes    4    3    2
 
At first glance it looks as though there is a strong interest in implementing a company-wide wellness program, but you also see a couple of other interesting things in the data. You have decided to use the data you have gathered and present it to senior management to persuade them that a wellness program will benefit everyone.
Instructions
You have decided the best way to approach senior management about your idea is through an executive summary. In your document you should include information you found in your initial investigation, such as cost savings and higher productivity levels at companies with wellness programs. It should also highlight the key findings of your research, as you realize senior management is very busy and will not be interested in a long detailed document.
* Write an introductory paragraph that includes the following:
    * The three most interesting findings from your survey.
    * Cite one external source that describes benefits of wellness programs for employers.
    * Describe the data analysis techniques used to interpret your data.
Be sure to include the method you used.Create an infographic that includes charts, graphs, or tables to display the three most interesting findings you mention above. Each graphic display should be accompanied by a brief text description of the data and why it is important. Also, include two relevant external sources.

Mrs. Casey was expecting her second child. Because she had atypical postpartum elcampsia during her first pregnancy, she chose to be cared for by a group of obstetricians who specialized in complicated obstetrical care. She delivered a healthy daughter during the 9th month of her pregnancy. Shortly after delivery, she reported swelling in her hands and face, headaches, and visual change she associated with the postpartum symptoms she had experienced following the birth of her child 2 years earlier. One of the physicians authorized her to stay an additional day in the acute care setting for further evaluation, but she was dismissed when the hospital nursing staff said her insurance would not approve the additional hospital day.
Three days later she presented to the emergency center with high blood pressure, severe headaches, and 4+ swelling in both of her lower extremities. She was admitted to the intensive care unit for treatment and was released 3 weeks after this second admission. She later filed a lawsuit for the early dismissal and the subsequent readmission.
At trial level, the plaintiff’s attorney argued that the case had been timely filed, as the patient filed this lawsuit within 2 years after she was discharged from the intensive care unit stay. The defendants’ attorney countered that she had not timely filed the lawsuit, as it was filed more than 2 years after the initial discharge following the birth of her daughter. (Guido, p. 50)
