Like so many of you, we’re continuing to adapt to the ongoing work /family communication challenges as COVID changes our routines. We’re advocating and attending online meetings, sending more emails and making more phone calls. New opportunities to expand web-conferencing skills, get overdue training accomplished and freshen up dated documents!
There are no easy answers for anyone in leadership positions today in regards to COVID-19. Leave social isolation too soon and you will be criticized. Human health and protection must be emphasized in all that we do in our industry, and at SIAC we respect and emphasize that.
For now, in this rapidly-changing environment, know that SIAC is here for your resource, information, and education needs regarding alarm management issues. We can connect online. We’ll get materials to you for any local campaigns. We remain vigilant and responsive through email, phone or texting. Know that you can reach out to us and we will get you answers. That’s our job and we take it seriously.
For the foreseeable ensuing 5-6 weeks, it appears the answer to the question of whether to meet online vs. in-person will fall into the “online” side of the ledger. Like you, we will continue monitoring the announcements of our federal, state and health officials in the coming weeks and continue to adapt as necessary. For all our contact information, click here to reach our staff.
Who knows what the new normal will be later this year and into next. I think we can all agree it probably won’t be the same as in the past. We must embrace the changes and make the best of it.
Stay safe, and support each other.
