Personal injury lawsuits can strike like a bolt out of the blue, but there are simple things every landlord can do to minimize your risk. We will cover:

Top exposures for property owners and managers.
Easy things you can do to prevent weather-related injury.
Apps and resources to manage weather alerts across your team.
The Storm Ready Certification: Supporter Designation.
How forensic weather analysis can decide the outcome of a case.

Attendees will leave with actionable steps to take to reduce the likelihood of ice or other weather-related liability.

Dr. Alicia Wasula of STM Weather

This image is a photograph of a plowed residential street in the wintertime, with high snow banks on either side of the road and slush around the banks. Houses are covered in snow, and cars parked on the street are blocked in with plowed snow. — Winter weather is a major liability for property owners.

Part of this event will be presented by Dr. Alicia Wasula, President of STM Weather. Weather impacts everyone. Dr. Wasula’s passion is helping you understand how to use information and science to save time and money, prevent injuries, and save lives.

As an educator, she was driven to help her students understand tough concepts and make abstract ideas relevant and real. Every aspect of her business is saturated with that sense of purpose. Whether she is communicating weather information to attorneys or juries for litigation purposes, property owners for weather preparedness training, or community groups, her goal is to help them understand how the weather works in a way that is relevant to them and to communicate complex information in an understandable, relatable way.

STM Weather was founded in 2004 as Shade Tree Meteorology. Originally a forensic-based firm, it has grown over the years into a full-service meteorological firm. As STM Weather has grown, they have expanded their services to include weather planning and trainings, seminars and speaking engagements, and data-driven consulting which helps answer questions such as “When is the best time of year to plant tomatoes in my backyard?”, “What is the most likely weather hazard I will encounter at my location?”, or “What is the best way to receive weather information?” We are fully committed to serving each of our clients with kindness and respect, giving them a scientifically sound, complete analysis, and delivering our findings in a clear, easy-to-understand manner.

Patrick Sullivan of Obtainable Sobriety, also a MassLandlords Director, will moderate networking time.
You can volunteer for a future event.

Networking time will be moderated by Patrick Sullivan. Patrick has been an avid landlord since 2007 primarily focusing on multi families in the greater Worcester area. Having worked in high level IT his whole life he looks at things from a different perspective which he applies to real estate. He became a Real Estate agent in 2015 and now primarily focuses on Sober living facilities for people recently out of drug and alcohol treatment centers. Patrick sits on the statewide MassLandlords Board of Directors.
