OursThat can wait for the morning. It's case #2082, and someone will call you by 10:00 AM ET. If anything gets worse, call back.
You decide what counts as an emergency. Everything else waits for the morning, and the tenant is told when to expect a call.
On call alone, or during a shift?
- On your own? Put yourself first on the on-call calendar, and an emergency calls and texts you first.
- Can't pick up during a shift? Add a backup. If you don't answer within 5 minutes, it calls and texts them too.
- Your technicians can be on the on-call calendar.
- Each property can have its own on-call schedule, so the call reaches the team for that building.
Not an emergency service. For a fire, a gas leak or anyone in danger, call 911 or the gas utility.
