Important Notice to Unit Owners
Re: Association Emergency Planning for natural events including, storms, hurricanes, tornadoes, thunder, lightning,
windstorms, fire or flooding.
May 9, 2007
One
of the basic functions of our Association is the protection of the property through the process of planning for emergencies,
or problems that occur from natural events. Planning for emergencies is first
recognizing that an emergency may occur, having a planned response, and recovering from any type of emergency.
The
possible emergencies we are concerned with presently is particular natural events that could occur in respects to our location
including storms, hurricanes, tornadoes, thunder, lightning, windstorms, fire or flooding.
Please review the following:
A
Unit Owner or occupant who plans to be absent during the hurricane season (June 1 through November) must prepare his Unit
prior to his departure by designating a responsible firm or individual to care for his Unit should a hurricane threaten the
Unit or should the Unit suffer hurricane damage, and furnishing the Association with the name(s) of such firm or individual.
BEFORE THE STORM
When a tropical storm or hurricane
watch is issued all residents/units will be required to move all personal property from their patios/balconies, inside their
unit, including their entrance doormats and also bicycles stored in the gated areas.
When a tropical storm or hurricane watch is issued (depending on the strength and location of the storm) management
may find it necessary to notify residents to remove personal items from patio/balcony and breezeway.
Units with personal property left remaining
on the patios or balconies are subject to fining.
AFTER THE STORM
After
the storm passes, or the threat of any storm is lifted, residents may return outdoor personal property to the patio/balcony. The management office should reopen at the regularly scheduled time, as soon
as the storm has passed and provided it is safe to do so. Please do not be alarmed if the management office is unable to open at the regularly scheduled time. (Power
outages and unclear roadways may hinder the management team from arriving as planned.)
ASSOCIATION
MANAGEMENT OFFICE LOCATION CHANGE
If
an emergency should cause an interruption of business for the Association at the Florida Club Management Office our management
will continue to work on behalf of the Association at a temporary location. This
temporary location will be used to conduct Association business until the time the management team can safely return to the
office, and the office is fit for operating a business. Owners and Residents may use
the emergency number to contact Florida Club Management, Board Members or Maintenance at (904) 315-9206, at any time.
If
communication is temporarily lost and you cannot reach Florida Club Management, Board Members or Maintenance please be assured
that all members of your emergency team are working on behalf of the Association, to the best of their ability. In devastating circumstances it may take some time to restore power and/or water, for contractors
to respond by clearing trees and debris, for insurance providers to visit the property, temporary loss of use in regards to
Billiards Room, Fitness Center and Pool may occur, mail dilemmas, and in extreme cases having no access to your unit or the
property.
Management
will contact all unit owners in the unusual event that the Association Management office has to close for an extended period
of time. Management will also inform unit owners of any information regarding
the Florida Club Condominiums as soon as it becomes available.
In
the event the office is temporarily closed Unit Owners should continue to mail their Association Dues, unless notified by
the Association otherwise, to the Florida Club Condominium Association, Inc, 500 Florida Club Blvd, St. Augustine, FL 32084,
as all mail will be forwarded to the temporary location. (Please mail, do not
use the Florida Club Association Dues drop box if the office has been closed.)
