Emergency Preparedness: 250th Anniversary Preparation
Bender Building - 7th Floor Conference Room
1120 Connecticut Avenue Northwest 7th Floor Conference Room Washington, DC 20036-3902 United States
As Washington, DC prepares for the America250 celebrations, property teams across the region must be ready to navigate increased security activity, transportation disruptions, operational complexity, and heightened public visibility surrounding the nation’s 250th Anniversary.
For many buildings, these events will create conditions more comparable to large-scale national security activations than traditional public celebrations.
Join AOBA’s Emergency Preparedness Committee for a timely conversation focused on operational readiness, communication discipline, and risk awareness during one of the most significant national activations the region has experienced in decades. This session is designed to help property teams see around corners before activity escalates across the region.
NEW! Speaker Announcement! This representative will provide an overview of anticipated activity across the region, including major event zones, operational pressure points, federal presence, and what commercial and multifamily operators should expect as preparations accelerate.
Dr. Keith Williams, Vice President of Support Services at Admiral Security Services and former Metropolitan Police Department Commander, will help property teams translate those broader regional impacts into practical building operations considerations for staff, tenants, vendors, and day-to-day operations.
