Quick Overview
Review contacts by property and role: owner, resident, vendor, utility, emergency service, and internal escalation owner. Confirm the preferred channel, backup route, permission to use it, and last verified date.
Common Mistakes
Do not publish private contact details in a broad operational document. The Federal Trade Commission privacy guidance offers general principles for limiting access and protecting personal information.
Do not leave an outdated contact active without recording its replacement or escalation route.

Verify identity, role, channel, availability, property scope, and whether the contact is authorized for the decisions assigned to them.
