Testimonials
“As a three-time user of WPS' comprehensive planning expertise over a sequence of ten years, I have been impressed with their continual innovation and initiative for process improvement. Each step in creating the emergency action plan is well executed. Their initial and annual training of both building staff and key tenant personnel is very thorough and well customized to increase effectiveness.”

“WPS performed a thorough evaluation of our existing procedures and systems, and integrated them into custom plans, which met our needs for multiple buildings here in Seattle. The procedures and training for both staff and tenants has fit well into our operational goals. We found that the WPS program is very comprehensive, addressing everyone in our buildings and it's a multi-hazard program, preparing everyone for many emergencies. We found that the range of products was very appropriate and fitting for us from the main, site-specific manuals to the evacuation signs. Their maintenance program allows us to keep our floor plans up to date, offering new tenants information and evacuation maps that are pertinent to their suite.”

“The perception that emergency training is bland or boring was proven wrong by the crew at WPS. Not only did they supply us with a thorough well-presented plan, but also they made it easy to understand and simple to apply. These guys know what they are doing!”

“Thank you so much for the Emergency Training that you conducted at Park Place for 2003. It is very difficult to get tenant buy-in on these programs but this year it was much easier. After the first group heard you speak, we had standing room only for the second training. Tenants even commented that they wished the training were longer! Next year we will know that we can book them for longer seminars. Many of our floor wardens have held the position for years and they are jaded to training. This year every one of the 'old-timers' commented on how much better the training was and that even after all these years, they learned something new.”

“The WPS staff providing the training sessions has been able to speak about their personal experiences in emergency services. This really gives our tenants a realistic idea of what might take place during a emergency situation in our building and drives home the importance of being ready if it happens.”

“We have been using WPS Emergency Planning for several years here at West Pender Property Management Group. They have designed and managed our emergency preparedness program for all of our office buildings. While we find the overall service to be excellent, for me the two best areas are the tenant trainings and the management of the program. Tenant trainings and fire drills are done by knowledgeable staff and completed in a very professional manner. Our program is always kept up to date which allows me to pass it on to new tenant's with confidence.”

“We have implemented the WPS Emergency Management Program in all of our buildings in Ottawa. The information, handed out to the tenants, combined with the Warden training has been very well received by our tenants and has reinforced our commitment to safety."

“We had been working for several months with the tenants of the Tacoma Financial Center to schedule our annual Floor Warden training and fire drill for Tuesday, July 27, 2004. When you called me on Monday, July 26th and shared with me that the WPS trainer for our meeting/drill had a family emergency and would not be available, and furthermore that no other trainer would be available, I was quite frustrated and disappointed. Rescheduling the meeting was not an option. However, you were able to quickly turn my frustration and disappointment into positive feelings through the efforts put forth by WPS to help us conduct the meeting/drill and provide our tenants with the information they need to help themselves in emergency situations. Most importantly, the overtime effort put forth by your staff to create a custom, online video presentation for the Tacoma Financial Center in one day was remarkable. Access to this video will help ensure that all the occupants of the building can prepare themselves for emergencies that may occur. Thank you for your team's great help on this matter!”
