Information before and after ANY significant event (man-made, or natural
disaster) is vital to the community.
Association members with family and friends in the path of Hurricane
Harvey for the entire Gulf of Mexico region from Texas to Florida please
contact them by phone, Western Union, a neighbor, local Fire & Police to
ensure that they follow the instructions of local emergency management offices
if instructed to evacuate, and seek shelter at designated location.
A home can be rebuilt, a car can be purchased again, but any life is more
precious than material things.

Life safety is paramount. Our primary concern now is to
ensure that those in the path of the storm can make informed decisions for their preparedness
and take actions
as the storm advances based on guidance from local and state
authorities. This is a unique storm and requires all of us to be
actively assessing how we can support critical messaging from local
authorities regarding protective actions including evacuations which are
underway.
We want to ensure FEMA is connected to you providing data,
information, and messaging as needed.
