It is essential to know how to maintain the property to minimize or avoid these adverse effects. Without the proper knowledge of facilities and property management, a property could encounter major problems from a small scale, to a disastrous event occurring. Within this case study I intend to prepare a “Disaster Management Framework” (DMF) which will address the pre event, prodromal, emergency, intermediate and long term recovery process. I will also address whether profitability will either bring a gain or loss to the property at the time of renovation and recovery, and the effects of stakeholders who have invested huge capital expenditure. 1.

Within the first stages of a hotel, goals are set to be accomplished whether it is profit maximization, sales maximization or bran establishment. All of these are not only important to management, but also to the interested stakeholders each with massive implications if a disaster damages or destroys a hotel property. One of the most important items for a property to have to prepare for this is an evacuation plan. There are many different ways of how management creates one depending on factors such as location, building size and occupancy, but they all intend to save people’s lives. Policies and procedures must be accurate in order for the evacuation plan to work correctly. As the manager I would consider factors such as;
