Locale Action Plan for Move in: August 2020 What We are Doing ● All Locale team members are required to use CDC recommended personal protective equipment (PPE) when providing service to any of our apartment homes. This includes use of masks, gloves, approved cleaning materials and expanded policies to mitigate any community spread of germs or virus. These team members are also required to confirm their health on a daily basis before showing up to work at the community. ● All Locale Vendors are required to utilize the same PPE, review instructional material, and sign off on the health of their crew members prior to providing service to the community. These are important partners for our community and they will be held to the same standards as our team members. ● We have implemented policies to increase the cleaning and sanitization of common spaces and high-contact surfaces like doors, tables and seating areas. Depending on the current local guidance, we may also alter our operations of our amenity spaces to ensure we are following local, state and federal recommendations. ● Surplus PPE has been supplied to all communities to ensure that no team member or vendor will be without appropriate PPE while they are on the grounds of our community. ● Prior to move-in, all units and bedrooms will be professionally cleaned and sanitized with CDC-recommended cleaning agents and disinfectants. All communities have also been supplied with sanitizing equipment that will be used to disinfect shared spaces before residents move-in. Our team has been preparing all summer to ensure all team members have the required resources and knowledge to provide a clean environment at move-in. ● Our move-out process, make ready services, and move-in planning have all been adjusted to minimize the times any unit is entered, reduce the number of people entering any given apartments and to implement “contact-free” protocols where we are able. We have also looked to ensure that our interactions with our residents are efficient, professional, and, where possible, digital. This includes a revised move-in plan that will reduce the physical contact points between our residents and our team, while still providing ways to meet all customer service needs. .
