Hurricane Isaias – Resident Safety & Preparedness Update.
Dear Residents, Families, and Friends,
As Hurricane Isaias approaches our area, we want to reassure everyone that our management team and staff are actively preparing to keep our residents safe and comfortable.
At this time, we are taking the following steps:
• An emergency generator will be available on site to provide backup power as needed.
• A professional company is coming to board and secure our atrium and will be bringing sandbags to help protect apartments in lower-lying areas.
• Management and staff will remain on site throughout the storm to assist our residents and maintain coverage.
• We have already stocked water, food, and other necessary supplies for our shelter-in-place plan.
We are also asking each resident to take a few important precautions as soon as possible:
• Pick up any prescription medications you may need.
• Have flashlights and extra batteries readily available.
• Charge your cell phones, pendants, and other essential devices.
• Remove all items from balconies and patios, including furniture, plants, decorations, and anything that could become a hazard in strong winds.
• Please keep your emergency supplies and important personal items easily accessible.
Hurricane Isaias is currently moving east and is being monitored closely. At this time, it is a Category 2 storm, with the expectation that it may weaken before landfall. Weather conditions can change, so we will continue to monitor the storm and provide updates as additional information becomes available.
Most importantly, please remain calm and take reasonable precautions. Our team is prepared, supplies are in place, and we will be here with you throughout the storm.
We understand that hurricanes can be stressful, particularly for our residents and their families. Please know that your safety and well-being are our highest priority. We will continue doing everything we can to keep everyone informed, safe, and comfortable.
Thank you for your cooperation, and please take care of yourselves and one another.
Sincerely,
Freddy Ordonez
University Pines
