Rules



• Hurricane Procedures
Purpose:
For the safety and protection of residents and property during hurricane season, June 1 through Nov. 30.

Rules:

  • If a hurricane evacuation is ordered by Broward County, you are
obliged by law to leave the building. Those who remain do so at their own risk and should know:

 1. Local emergency services do not have to respond to calls.
    • Power in the building will be shut off, which means there will be NO WATER, NO AIR CONDITIONING, NO LIGHTS, NO ELEVATOR SERVICE
    • There will be no building staff present.

    These steps are necessary to protect the building’s systems from potential serious damage, which could prevent occupancy for several weeks after a storm.
    • Special procedures are available for non-ambulatory residents:
    • Prior to hurricane season, call and register with The Broward County Department of Emergency Management (DEM) at 954-537-2888. In the case of an emergency you must be pre-registered and be on their evacuation list. The DEM has a Special Needs Registry for the emergency evacuation of non-ambulatory residents and those in need of life support systems dependent upon electricity.

    2. You must call the DEM each year to remain on the list.
      • All shutters should be closed. The building cannot guarantee the maintenance staff will be available to close shutters for you.
      • If a unit does not have shutters, all outdoor furniture must be moved inside.
