HURRICANE SEASON

MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD DIRECTORS

Hello Residents,

Please consider following this guide and downloading the FEMA application to your cell phone to obtain up-to-date information regarding what precautions you are advised to take for your personal safety and protecting your property. Another smartphone app you should have is one that will notify people where you are, and if you need help or are safe. The Red Cross has a Hurricane App available as well as a shelter-finder app. A first-aid app is also available. 

I have attached a preparedness brochure provided by the Florida Governor's Office to this webpage that is a great information resource as well as providing some printed copies available by the our mailboxes. I will be restocking as I see the need. Please take one of the contact information printouts too because there is local information specific to our community and COA. Also, this is the link to the website I mentioned: https://www.flgov.com/2019/08/29/governor-ron-desantis-receives-hurricane-dorian-briefing-at-national-hurricane-center-issues-updates-on-preparedness/ 

Several neighbors are going to be here on property so don't hesitate to reach out for assistance...a huge thanks to all the volunteers helping our residents. We are a caring community and hope the best for everyone.

During a hurricane

• Avoid walking or driving through flood waters.

• Just 6 inches of moving water can knock you down, and fast-moving water can sweep your vehicle away.

• Be extra careful when walking outside.

• Storm damage such as downed power lines and fallen debris could injure you.

6 hours before arrival

• Close storm shutters if possible and stay away from windows.

• Flying glass from broken windows could injure you.

• Turn your refrigerator or freezer to the coldest setting and open only when necessary.

• If you lose power, food will last longer.

6 to 12 hours before arrival

• Turn on your TV/radio, or check your local government’s website frequently.

• You’ll get the latest weather updates and emergency instructions.

• Charge your phone.

• You’ll have a full battery if you lose power.

12 to 36 hours before arrival

• Bring in outdoor furniture and other items that could blow away.

• These may become a safety hazard.

• Bookmark your local government’s website.

• This gives you quick access to storm updates and emergency instructions.

36 to 48 hours before arrival

• Build or restock your emergency preparedness kit.

• Include a flashlight, batteries, cash, and first aid supplies.

• Plan how to communicate with family members if you lose power.

• For example, you can use phone, text, social media, or email.

• Create an evacuation plan with your family.

• You may have to leave quickly.

Be safe,
