Introduction
Dear Resident:
Our nation
was not prepared for the events of September 11, 2001. In the minutes
before United Airlines Flight 93 crashed in Somerset County, it
flew within 8 miles of downtown Pittsburgh.
We know more
than we did that day and, with that knowledge, we need to be more
vigilant and better prepared for any situation we might face. In
this vein, the City of Pittsburgh has passed an ordinance requiring
all high-rise buildings in the City of Pittsburgh to be equipped
for all situations.
It is now the
law to be prepared. It is law to submit an All Hazard Plan to the
City’s Emergency Management Director. It is law to drill the
procedures contained in the All Hazard Plan. It is law to post floor
plans showing evacuation routes, areas of rescue and safety in corridors
and highly visible areas. It is law to inform occupants of any change
in the plan. It is the law to be a safer, more prepared City.
Please carefully
read the following information. The City of Pittsburgh has worked
tirelessly to ensure that everyone in this great city is safe within
our borders and, without your cooperation, that would be impossible.
Sincerely,
Your Mayor
