Disaster Memo - Severe Weather Alert

Due to the impending severe weather we would like to share with you a few reminders to help you and your families stay safe. We recommend that all our residents stay informed by radio and/or television. Even if a storm does not make landfall, flooding is still likely. That alone could bring loss of electricity, roof leaks and more.

If you or your family members have home based medical equipment, contact your local power company immediately, so that they are aware of this prior to the bad weather. Make sure you have all of your medications on hand and refilled in advance if needed. Have important papers and documents in a zip lock bag and a few outfits packed in case you need to leave home.

Please remove any exterior storage and furniture from around your units (this includes decorative items as well).

If you are bringing in plants, be sure you put them on large plastic bags to keep them from making stains on carpets or floors.
