Preparation before crisis: As you know storms are fickle and vary in size and category. The goal of the community is to prepare for hurricanes and storms and to minimize the possible damage to your home and to the Association common grounds.
Don’t wait for an impending storm to take action. Please see below information to help you prepare.
- Please be advised that each of us must take the proper precautions by ensuring that all decorative items, trash and recycling receptacles, or any objects being stored around our properties are safely secured or stored inside to ensure that they do not become projectiles. Any loose items, such as outdoor furniture, hoses, grills, plants, or lawn equipment, must be tied down or stored inside the house or garage. Screened patios will not protect your property, as screens can be damaged during high winds and rain.
- Clean out gutters to ensure that there is no water back up into your homes.
- In case of an actual emergency, Dial 9-1-1 for Police, Fire Rescue, or for medical emergencies.
