==Introduction==
Steve Slepcevic founded Paramount Disaster Recovery Inc. in 1989 and serves as its president and chief executive officer. Through his diligence in serving the clients of Paramount, Mr. Slepcevic has guided Paramount to become the recognized consulting firm in nationwide disaster emergency response, construction consulting, and complete reconstruction.  Mr. Slepcevic has completed projects for major hotels and restaurants, hospitals, office buildings and commercial developments, apartment buildings and community associations, and residential property owners in the United States and internationally.  
This wiki is the central resource of the microformats community. You'll find current versions of published microformat specifications, specification drafts and publishing patterns. The wiki also hosts development resources, such as brainstorming pages for new formats and issue tracking pages for all current and in-development microformats.


== Get Started==
Steve Slepcevic founded Virtual Evacuation to address a vitally important but often underdeveloped aspect of disaster preparedness – evacuation planning and training. Today, evacuation planning and emergency management has become a sophisticated field in the science of civil engineering with the goal of saving lives through safer facility design and optimized rescue training operations. Leading experts in the fire industry, emergency management systems, engineering, and architectural design were immediately attracted to the concept of Virtual Evacuation and have unselfishly provided their knowledge and insight to make Virtual Evacuation a cutting-edge consulting company that is unique in its approach to disaster preparedness.
To get started with microformats:


* First, be familiar writing your pages and applications with semantically rich, descriptive, ‘[[posh|<abbr title="Plain Old Semantic HTML">POSH</abbr>]]’ <abbr title="HyperText Mark-up Language">HTML</abbr>.
Mr. Slepcevic has lectured extensively throughout the United States to property owners, building managers, risk managers, community associations and real estate professionals in the areas of disaster preparedness and response. Mr. Slepcevic has been an invited guest speaker at many industry forums and trade associations where his insightful presentations have proved to be interesting and educational.
* Learn about microformats from the [http://microformats.org/about/ about page], [http://microformats.org/ blog], [[press]], [[presentations]], [[books]], [[podcasts]], & [[screencasts]] pages.
* Take a look at established specifications such as [[hcard|hCard]] and [[hcalendar|hCalendar]], and follow the [[hcard-examples|examples]] to start publishing microformats.
* Have questions? Read the [[faq|frequently asked questions]] and see the [[glossary]] for terms and definitions. You can also post to the {{MicroformatsMailingList}}.
* Want to learn more in person? Check out microformats [[events]].


==Definition==
Accomplished in his field, Mr. Slepcevic’s articles have appeared in such leading industry publications as Architectural West, RSI, Roofing Contractor, Remodeling Contractor, Caribbean Business Journal, Daily Breeze, Disaster Resource, Industrial News Journal, IFL Reports, and SBI, among others. He was featured prominently as an expert in the Ed McMahon mold litigation and has consulted and/or testified as an expert in litigation matters. Paramount and Mr. Slepcevic maintain professional affiliations with RIMS, CAI, BOMA, IREM, NAA, NRA, ICSC, NRCA, IAEM and many others.
Microformats are small patterns of HTML to represent commonly published things like [[hcard|people]], [[hcalendar|events]], [[hatom|blog posts]], [[hreview|reviews]] and [[rel-tag|tags]] in web pages.


Microformats enable the publishing of higher fidelity information on the Web; the fastest and simplest way to provide feeds and APIs for the information in your website.
Mr. Slepcevic attended El Camino College where he studied architectural and structural design.
