Wheelock Street Group, LLC - Risk Management Manual
FLOOD PREPAREDNESS CHECKLIST
IMPENDING FLOOD:
Monitor the weather channel and call the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers [or other reliable source] or the local equivalent in your area for the most
recent and accurate prediction of water level/crests.
Relocate the following items to a safe area:
Stock and items critical to continued operations
Equipment, such as portable electronic equipment, computers, etc.
Vehicles that will be needed after flood
Critical drawings, records, files, computer tapes
Shut off electricity and gas to prevent short-circuiting of electrical equipment and lessen the fire hazard of ruptured gas lines. (If the facility’s fire
pump is electricity driven, have a diesel-driven pump available as backup.)
Install barriers around sprinkler risers, yard valves and hydrants to protect them from floating debris.
Shut down and drain flammable-liquid piping systems.
Make every effort to keep fire protection systems operational during a flood.
Fill sandbags and place around possible entry points and vital protection equipment, such as the fire-pump house.
Install flood doors and shields.
Secure or anchor any outside storage or equipment that cannot be moved to another location.
Cover large stationary machines with water-displacing, rust-preventive compound and large plastic shields.
Fill empty storage tanks – including aboveground and buried tanks – to prevent them from floating.
Give sump pumps a final check to make sure they are operational.
Close hand-operated valves on drain piping to prevent backflow through floor drains or plumbing fixtures.
Check roof, floor or yard drains to see if they are clear, and then continuously monitor them to make sure they remain clear.
Consider increasing security and facility surveillance.
Place contractors and equipment-repair companies on alert.
Make sure a salvage crew is on alert and prepared to take action.
AFTER THE FLOOD HAS HIT:
Check flooded buildings for structural stability before starting clean up inside.
Check for spilled flammable liquid, contaminants, etc., and eliminate them before other work begins.
Remove standing water from the facility.
Begin salvage procedures:
Remove debris
Dry equipment
Dehumidfy damp areas
Dry wet insulation
Dry building material
Assess actual impact, determine needs and initiate planned cleanup, repair and business-resumption services.
Check, clean and test all electrical distribution equipment and system components exposed to flood water or humidity.
Keep fire protection systems in service.
11
Wheelock Street Group, LLC - Risk Management Manual
WATER INTRUSION CHECKLIST
IN RESPONSE TO A WATER INTRUSION EVENT
Identify source of water and stop water entry as soon as possible.
If source is sewer backflow or other water that may contain microorganisms or chemicals, response workers must wear appropriate personal
protective equipment.
Contact asset manager and risk manager.
Keep detailed photographic and expenditure records throughout the course of all work.
Extract standing water.
Clean and dry wet or damp areas.
Direct fans toward wet areas.
Leave HVAC system running to dehumidify and facilitate drying.
Clean carpets with steam and appropriate detergent, dry thoroughly, and vacuum with a HEPA-filtered vacuum.
If carpets are backed with rubber, pull carpets to facilitate drying underneath.
Discard and replace wet ceiling tiles.
If gypsum board is water-damaged, it must be dried quickly. Remove core base on affected walls and direct fans to facilitate drying.
Response contractors may choose to open and ventilate the wall cavity if warranted and possible.
MOLD PREVENTION TIPS
Fix leaky plumbing and leaks in the building envelope as soon as possible.
Watch for condensation and wet spots. Fix source(s) of moisture problem(s) as soon as possible.
Prevent moisture due to condensation by increasing surface temperature or reducing the moisture level in the air (humidity). To increase surface
temperature insulate or increase air circulation. To reduce the moisture level in the air, repair leaks, increase ventilation (if outside air is cold
and dry), or dehumidify (if outdoor air is warm and humid).
Keep heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) drip pans clean, flowing properly, and unobstructed.
Vent moisture-generating appliances, such as dryers, to the outside where possible.
Maintain low indoor humidity, below 60% relative humidity (RH), ideally 30-50%, if possible.
Perform regular building/HVAC inspections and maintenance as scheduled.
Clean and dry wet or damp spots within 48 hours.
Do not let foundations stay wet. Provide drainage and slope the ground away from the foundation.

Wheelock Street Group, LLC - Risk Management Manual
COLD SPELLS/ WINTER STORM PREPAREDNESS CHECKLIST
To be completed immediately following the announcement of a “Storm Watch” posting by the National Weather Service when conditions are safe to
do so.
WINTER STORM SEASON PREVENTION:
Ensure that your property has a properly planned and executed snow removal program. This program should include procedures to clear snow
from driveways, parking areas, walkways, traffic areas, doorways, and fire hydrants so that they are all easily accessible by emergency response
teams.
Determine your exposure (e.g. the potential for mounding or drifting snow on rooftops) and establish an emergency plan that addresses your
exposure’s vulnerabilities. Ask the following questions to determine your level of exposure:
Does your locale usually experience temperate winters?
Would wind direction or wind chill affect your facility’s ability to withstand freezing temperatures?
Has your locale ever experienced freezing temperature or several inches’ accumulation of snow or ice?
Do you shut down operations during winter holidays or on weekends?
Does heat generated by process equipment also supply or supplement building heat?
Does building temperature drop when process equipment is shut off?
Review your roof design.
Review your exposure’s drainage system. Confirm that your exposure contains a secondary drainage system, which provides adequate drainage
even when the primary drainage system is clogged.
Inspect the roof structure for weakness and snow-loading capacity, especially in areas where drifting snow can accumulate, such as changes in roof
elevation. If your building has a metal roof system, verify that the purlins have been adequately braced.
Identify loads added since the building was constructed (e.g. equipment hung from the roof) and add reinforcement to areas as needed, especially to
areas where drifting snow is likely to accumulate.
Check annually for loose connections (especially bowstring trusses), members that have been removed during renovations, sagging or twisted roof
supports, or signs of rot or corrosion.
Shorten downspouts to above the potential level of snow banks or use open-channel downspouts.
Where practical, install and maintain heat tracing inside gutters to assure a clear path for snowmelt.
Ensure equipment or structures meet anticipate snow loads, specifically:
Conveyer enclosures.
Dust collectors.
Cooling towers.
Water tanks.
Develop and train your emergency response team (ERT) well before winter. Your winter action program should include:
A schedule for preparing facilities (including building utilities and production equipment) prior to the cold weather season.
A weather watch with procedures for alerting management and maintenance personnel.
Arrangements for guards and maintenance personnel to be available during expected cold spells.
When storms loom for an extended period of time, have ERT personnel patrol the building in search of cold spots, structural damage,
large leaks, or sprinkler piping breaks.
Procedures for repairing or replacing damaged equipment, and for restoring fire protection as safely and quickly as possible.
Avoid shutdown or curtailment of operation. Have procedures for monitoring and maintaining adequate heat if curtailment or shutdown
becomes necessary.
Install low temperature alarms (with remote monitoring) in cold-prone areas.
13
Wheelock Street Group, LLC - Risk Management Manual
COLD SPELLS/ WINTER STORM PREPAREDNESS CHECKLIST (CONTINUED)
PRE – STORM PRECAUTIONS:
ROOF COLLAPSE
Keep the roof well-maintained, free of excessive snow, and ensure all drains remain clear.
If Property Management is responsible for snow removal, ensure shovels, wheelbarrows, and snow blowers are readily available for use. Note: You
may need to adjust height of the snowblower’s blade so that it does not damage the roof and avoid creating drifts with snowblower. If snow
removal is outsourced to a 3rd party, make sure they use their own equipment.
FREEZE UP
Maintain heat in building at all times. Actions to help maintain heat in your building include:
Place piping in heated areas of a building, provide insulation around a pipe sufficient to reduce heat loss, or provide heat tracing, if the
pipe might be exposed to freezing temperatures. No area with piping should fall below 40 F (4 C).
Properly insulate attics, exterior walls, windows and other areas lacking adequate heating.
Caulk, insulate, and apply weather stripping as needed. Close and seal unneeded dampers, louvers, vents, and openings.
Repair broken windows, ill-fitting doors, and keep exterior doors closed.
Shut off the water lines and drain all pipes if the building is to be left unattended for an extended period of time. Sprinkler systems should remain
on, unless all combustible materials are removed and the building is non-combustible.
Monitor the temperature of susceptible areas, such as concealed spaces, eaves, areas with no direct heat, stairwells and shipping departments with
large doors that are often open.
Make sure all fire pump suction lines, wet pits, or suction tanks are properly maintained, kept free of ice and heated as necessary.
DURING STORMS/COLD SPELLS:
ROOF COLLAPSE
Continually monitor roof conditions for signs of heavy snow loads. Things to note in particular:
Level of snow on the roof.
Excessive deflection of room framing members below the roof.
Sagging of purlins, joists, beams or trusses.
Sprinkler heads deflecting below suspended ceilings.
FREEZE UP
Maintain heat in building at all times. Actions to help maintain heat in your building include:
Place piping in heated areas of a building, provide insulation around a pipe sufficient to reduce heat loss, or provide heat tracing, if the
pipe might be exposed to freezing temperatures. No area with piping should fall below 40 F (4 C).
Properly insulate attics, exterior walls, windows and other areas lacking adequate heating.
Caulk, insulate, and apply weather stripping as needed. Close and seal unneeded dampers, louvers, vents, and openings.
Repair broken windows, ill-fitting doors, and keep exterior doors closed.
Monitor the temperature of susceptible areas, such as concealed spaces, eaves, areas with no direct heat, stairwells and shipping departments with
large doors that are often open.
Make sure all fire pump suction lines, wet pits, or suction tanks are properly maintained, kept free of ice and heated as necessary.

COLD SPELLS/ WINTER STORM PREPAREDNESS CHECKLIST (CONTINUED)
AFTER STORM:
ROOF COLLAPSE
Keep the roof well-maintained, free of excessive snow, and ensure all drains remain clear.
Avoid using equipment that can damage a roof, such as ice choppers or blow torches.
Check drains, scuppers, and down spouts to ensure they are free of debris.
Continually monitor roof conditions for signs of heavy snow loads. Things to note in particular:
Level of snow on the roof.
Excessive deflection of room framing members below the roof.
Sagging of purlins, joists, beams or trusses.
Sprinkler heads deflecting below suspended ceilings.
If there is a roof collapse, shut off damaged water, gas, process and electrical systems in the collapsed area by calling the necessary contractors and
local utilities.
Take care to shut off as little of the automatic sprinkler system as possible and continue protection in the rest of the facility by improvising
connections to bypass the collapsed area.
Relocate or cover equipment housed in the collapsed area that may be susceptible to damage from freezing or melting snow, and shore up building
sections, if safe to do so.
Remove snow from the roof in increments rather than all at once. Be careful not to create a drift by moving snow from one area on to an adjacent
area and not to damage roof coverings during snow removal.
FREEZE UP
Provide extra heat and safely thaw out frozen equipment and systems. Never attempt to that frozen equipment or pipes with an open flame.
Quickly restore impaired fire systems and provide ERT members with phone numbers of outside contractors who can immediately repair breaks in
the sprinkler system.

INSECT INFESTATION
PREVENTION
Insect infestation can pose a significant threat to the health of occupants and can cause physical damage to the building. Many insects can enter the
building through propped open doors as well as through openings in the building’s perimeter or façade. Often insects can also enter from people and
individual possessions. The best way to deal with infestation is to have an integrated pest management system already in place. However, other ways to
prevent or eliminate pest infestation problems include:
Maintain good housekeeping practices.
Encourage tenants to limit food intake and storage to pantry/kitchen areas.
Prevent pests from entering the building by sealing the building.
Educate tenants on the attractants for pest so that they can be reduced or eliminated; one of the most common attractants includes potted plants.
Though these appear to beautify the offices, residences, and hotels, many plants carry gnats which can significantly infest the location.
As soon as infestation is noticed, property management should immediately notify the pest control contractor. When infestation occurs despite
preventive methods, the pest control contractor should begin to use bait stations, glue traps and other environmentally safe methods of eliminating
pest.
BED BUGS
In recent years, bed bugs have staged a major comeback with reports of infestations from hotels, to apartments, to restaurants and theaters, and
even commercial office buildings. There are three key reasons for the reemergence of bed bugs: (1) increased international and domestic travel;
(2) loss of pest control products such as DDT, which, although effective in eradicating an infestation, is banned; and (3) economic hardship – all
types of claims trend upwards during a weakening economic environment.
Though bed bug bites are not known to transmit diseases, an infestation can be very upsetting to guests and have a serious impact on a property’s
reputation, all which can result in potential significant financial harm to a business.
PREVENTION AND MITIGATION:
It is nearly impossible to prevent bed bugs from entering your business as they can travel in luggage, purses, backpacks, clothing, furniture, and on
humans. As such, the sanitary conditions of a property rarely play a role in the infestation. Prompt and vigilant efforts in responding to an
infestation are key to controlling the problem.
The use of a professional pest control service is required. A written contract providing sufficient risk transfer and indemnity language as well
as appropriate insurance requirements should be part of every contract. The contract should include follow up and re-application as
necessary.
Your Cleaning and Maintenance Staff Should Look for Bed Bug Infestation in the Following Locations as Applicable:
Headboards
Mattresses
Inside the hollow areas of a bed
Behind peeling wallpaper
Coils of a bed
Edge of carpeting
Curtains and draperies
Exterior seams and creases of furniture
Beneath / underside of fabric covered furniture
Electrical outlets
20
Wheelock Street Group, LLC - Risk Management Manual
BED BUGS (CONTINUED)
Advise Your Staff to Look for the Following:
Eggs
Active bug movement
Cast exoskeleton skins
Blood stains
When to Inspect
Hotel rooms should be inspected every time a guest checks out
When linens are changed (a visual check of the mattress, box spring, and headboard should occur)
During routine preventative maintenance
Immediately upon report of potential bed bugs
What to do Upon Discovery
Place room / area out of order
Contact your pest control professional
Bag and seal furniture and clothing and remove from the room
Use a “Nine Room Approach” – In addition to the infested room, the rooms adjacent, above and below the affected room should be
treated
It is often impossible to know whether the guest picked up bed bugs at your property or brought them into your
property. The best approach is to provide prompt and courteous response and alternative accommodations.
Any guest or customer complaint should be reported to Owner, RMC and your insurer immediately.
Treatment Protocols
In response to a report of an infestation, call a professional pest control treatment contractor immediately:
Call a Professional Pest Control Treatment Contractor
Additional Treatment Methods
In addition to hiring a professional pest control treatment contractor, it is recommended that you also employ the following methods:
Steam, Heat and/or Cold treatment
Vacuum – while effective in controlling, a vacuum is not a means of treatment of an infestation and should be used with care so as not to
transfer the bed bugs from one room to another. The dust
bag should be removed and sealed before removed from the affected room.
Microwave – this is effective in treating clothing or other small items
Encasement products – these should have zippers or seams to prevent the transfer of bed bugs.
Steps To Take In Advance of an Infestation
Prepare a “Bed Bug Control Manual”, which should include:
• Training for your staff on when and how to identify an infestation
• What to do upon discovery and how to properly mitigate the problem
• A list of pest control service providers that have been vetted by the company.
• RMC contract language that can be incorporated prior to hiring the pest control service provider.

Wheelock Street Group, LLC - Risk Management Manual
PROTOCOL FOR CONTRACT REVIEW AND INSURANCE COMPLIANCE COMPLETION
1.
Determine which Contract to use:
a. The “Insurance Exhibit- Elevator Maintenance” should be used as an insurance exhibit for all new contracts/engagements in
which elevator maintenance is within the scope of services.
b. The “Insurance Exhibit- Security Services” should be used as an insurance exhibit for all new contracts/engagements in which
security services is applicable.
c. The “Insurance Exhibit- Snow Removal” should be used as an insurance exhibit for all new contracts/ engagements in which
snow removal in within the scope of services.
d. The “Event Waiver” should be used when events are taking place on site outside of the normal course of activity (i.e., Tenant wants
to use the lobby of building to host an event; Ownership allows a production company to use the building to film a movie).
e. The “Insurance Exhibit- General Services” should be used for other vendor contracts. If major construction is planned to occur at
the site, reach out to RMC first.
No one is allowed on-site to do work or occupy premises without a contract and certificate of insurance (COI), both of which
include the ownership/contracting/management entities as additional insured on a preliminary and noncontributory basis with
COIs reflecting all required coverages per the executed contract.
2.
Request a certificate of insurance from Contractor showing Owner & Management as additional insured under Contractor’s policy.
3.
Review the Certificate of Insurance and compare it to Wheelock Street Group, LLC- Limits for Service Vendors Umbrella/Excess Limit Matrix
(page 43) and insert the acceptable Umbrella/Excess limit directly into the appropriate Insurance Exhibit document. If the contractor carriers a
higher limit than the minimum requirements listed on the Limits for Service Vendors sheet, then please reference the higher insurance limit
available under the Contractor’s policy in the contract.
4.
When using any new contract form, we suggest that you run the contract by counsel to insure that the insurance exhibit corresponds with the
contract and the indemnity supports the insurance required. Broadly speaking, the Contractor should be required to indemnify Owner for its
negligence and any incident occurring directly or partially sue to the Contractor’s work.
5.
These are suggested limits only. In no way, do these suggestions ensure that Contractors have provided enough insurance for any and all incidents
occurring on site that results from the Contractor’s work.
6.
If there is any push back from the Contractor on either the insurance language in the contract of insurance requirements, please contact RMC and
we will review the Contractor’s insurance on a case-by-case basis.

Special Notes All requirements must be required in a WRITTEN CONTRACT prior to work beginning.
All Vendors must provide Workers' Compensation Coverage.
WC coverage should include Employer Liability Coverage with limits of $500/$500/$500.
CGL and Umbrella must include Products and Completed Operations Coverage.
All Certificates must add the building owner and manager as additional insureds with respect to their work at that site.
Excess Liability limits may vary. Above parameters are for your guidance but are not etched in stone. Requested Minimum Umbrella Limit must be listed as one
amount within the contract and not a range of limits.
Business judgment must be used when it does not make sense to adhere to these limits. If the vendor is not large, the job is not large, and the exposure is not large
then flexibility is permitted. It is important, however, to get the most protection we can. In no event will work be performed by any vendor without evidence of
adequate insurance.
Any questions or concerns regarding individual variations should be directed first to the Property Manager, then to Dave Currey or Shannon McGuire at Robert M.
Currey & Associates at 617-536-1750.
