The LEPC and Emergency Management office has tried to work <br />with the Hotel owners and managers to help guide them in the protection of their guests. Weare falling short in this <br />area and need to take more action to communicate to visitors about their current surroundings and what to do in an <br />emergency. <br /> <br />After doing much research it has been found that no other city or county across America has such a requirement. We <br />would be the first at taking such a proactive step in protecting visitors in our City. <br /> <br /> <br />Council A enda <br /> <br /> <br />Date <br />
