Hurricane Preparedness and Web Links
In an effort to provide our residents with the necessary information to help you to be prepared in the event a Severe Storm, Tropical Storm or Hurricane should hit our area, we are providing you with the information below. This information should be taken seriously so you don't find yourself not prepared if a storm hits our area. As we all know, storms can leave us without Power and Water for days and sometimes weeks. The documents below will provide you with details of some of the items you will need before the storm, how to survive a storm and where you can find supplies like groceries, fuel and building materials after a storm even if the power is out. Remember, the Federal Government says we should be ready to survive without any assistance for at least 3 days after a storm goes through. My personal recommendation is to be ready for 2-3 weeks.
Remember, it is very important to help your neighbors both before and after the storm. Always make sure you are OK first and then reach out to your neighbors (at least on each side of you) and see if they need any help. This is the time to put any bad feelings out of the way and be there to help each other. You never know, when the storm is over it may be "you" that ends up needing help.
What can I expect from the Association after a storm? Don't forget, the association is "you" so we may be looking for volunteers. If you are interested in being a volunteer, please complete the form at the bottom of this page and we will keep your information on file in the event we need your assistance.
The Clubhouse will be our Central Point of Communications. Even if the Clubhouse takes on severe damage, we will have information posted by where the front door is letting you know whatever we know regarding power outages, debris pick-up, clean-up operations, etc. Providing we have internet access, the Main Page of this Web Site will contain the same information. We have contractors who are ready to assist us once a storm goes through. We all must remember, even though we are used to things moving along at a normal pace, this is not the case after a storm. Everyone must exercise "patience" and understand that we are moving as fast as possible to restore the Common Areas as soon as possible.
When it comes to your Power, Telephone, Cable TV, etc., it will be up to you to work with your provider to get your service restored. In most cases, this happens automatically and calling them will usually not do any good. If you find that your neighbors are having the same issue, take a wait and see approach. If your neighbor is not having the same problem, that is when you contact the particular utility and report your issue.
I could go on and on telling you more and more, but start researching all of the items below and after you have performed your research and still have a question, please feel free to contact us by e-mailing us at: President@Citrusglen.org
