About the Author

George, a native of New Orleans, has been through numerous natural disasters, the latest being the devastating Hurricane Katrina and then Hurricane Rita. He has several relatives and close friends who are past and present members of the New Orleans Fire Department and First Response Team. George also owned and operated several large high-rise window cleaning companies in Las Vegas, Nevada from 1987 through 2004. Because of the nature of his business and the possibility of an emergency situation occurring at any time, he was required by OSHA to study and develop various escape and rescue procedures and techniques for company employees who worked inside and on the exterior of the high-rise hotels. He also attended semi-annual safety seminars and held quarterly safety meetings for his employees. His expertise includes self-rescue, buddy-rescue and topside-rescue, all of which can be used to survive any type of disaster. When he travels on business or pleasure trips, regardless of his destination, emergency escape equipment is always part of his luggage.
