Community safety and security are important considerations for any property buyer. SM Development Corporation (SMDC) knows this well and works with partner company Greenmist Property Management Corporation (GPMC) to ensure that SMDC communities and its residents are safe and secure.
As the management of SMDC communities, GPMC looks after all aspects of operations and maintenance to keep the property in good shape and reduce the risk of untoward incidents. However, as SMDC properties are a community of residents, the residents have a role in their safety and security. According to Tina Orcullo, head of GPMC, emergencies may still happen and precautionary measures must be taken. Ahead, she shares tips on how you can keep yourself and your loved ones safe:
Get to know your neighbors. Tina said, “the more people you know in your community, the easier for you to recognize strangers.” Socializing with neighbors is a good practice. It could be difficult at first but befriending your neighbors presents countless benefits.
“Here at SMDC, we have events where we enable residents to mingle and get to know each other,” she added.
Neighbors who know each other will help each other in emergencies.
SMDC partners with government agencies and non-government organizations that can provide training and seminars for residents. Recently, SMDC and the Philippine Red Cross held an Emergency Response Training for Good Guys volunteers on basic life-saving skills.
