This information has been compiled from a variety of sources and is intended only as a guide that will help you make choices as to what is best for you and your family in times of a disaster. It does not purport to be, nor is it based on substantial scientific, legal or medical advice. It is simply a compilation of ideas and suggestions collected from many sources that we hope will stimulate you to provide for the disaster we all hope never happens.
Disaster Preparedness & Action Committee
9/8/2020 11:51 AM pg. 1 Forward The Stoneybrook Golf and Country Club(SGCC) Neighborhood Disaster Preparedness Program was developed to educate the community in both protective and precautionary measures to be taken in the event a hurricane or other disaster is projected to impact the Southwest Florida area. Potentially hazardous conditions and situations exist in all communities and Southwest Florida, home to SGCC, is occasionally vulnerable to hurricanes and severe weather-related events. This plan shall provide a framework for the Community to protect lives and property, endure, and recover from such an event. Authority and responsibility for direction and control of personnel, resources, and recovery efforts of the Community are an integral part of this basic plan. To ensure one’s personal safety and the safety of his or her possessions, all members of the community should be thoroughly familiar with the components and limitations of this plan. Members of the Disaster Preparedness & Action Committee (DPAC) shall review and make changes to this plan on an annual basis.
Purpose: To protect the lives of residents and staff before, during, and after a hurricane; to protect and preserve property of the Club before, during, and after a hurricane; to provide continued business operations, and communication until the Club is able to resume normal operations; to designate essential employees and responsibilities in order to accomplish our mission during such a crisis. This plan details the overall responsibilities, guidelines, and organizational priorities necessary to ensure safe, coordinated service efforts. It sets forth a detailed program for preparation against, operations during, and recovery following a hurricane. This plan has been developed as a guideline for staff and volunteer residents to prepare the Club and its amenities for an impending storm and restore the Club and its property back to pre-storm conditions. It is highly recommended that each Association and owner develop a plan to ensure the safety and security of their families and property.
Priorities: a. Protect the welfare of the population of the Community. b. Protect physical and intellectual property. c. Mitigate damages and provide recovery efforts to resume normal functioning of SGCC.

Responsibilities Thank you for volunteering to participate in the Stoneybrook Neighborhood Disaster Preparedness Program.
The Central Command Coordinators are the eyes and ears of the community after any type of natural or man-made disaster has occurred. They depend on residents to advise the residential leader of any significant damage or injuries in their neighborhood condo, villa, house or street.
Hurricanes are the most likely natural disaster that we anticipate occurring. However, other emergencies, such as tornadoes, or tropical storms, are possible. It is important that you and your family know what to do during a Hurricane Watch, Hurricane Warning, while the hurricane is in progress, and after the All Clear. Your first priority is to prepare your household. Then, please keep your Residential Leader updated on your “in town” status, and if you will be able to participate in after-hurricane duties. In the event you cannot contact your Residential Leader, contact the Command Center, General Manager or the Administrative Executive.

9/8/2020 11:51 AM pg. 17 Appendix: National Weather Service and Advisory Guide On occasion, advisories are issued by the National Weather Service in order to alert citizens of the possibility of inclement weather conditions.
What is the National Weather Service? The National Weather Service provides weather, hydrologic, and climate forecasts and warnings for the United States, its territories, adjacent waters, and ocean areas. The NWS provides warnings and forecasts of hazardous weather, including thunderstorms, flooding, hurricanes, tornadoes, winter weather, etc., during life-threatening weather situations.
What do hurricane advisories mean? Hurricane/Tropical Storm “Watch” - Hurricane/tropical storm conditions are possible in the specified area, usually within 36 hours. Hurricane/Tropical Storm “Warning” - Hurricane/tropical storm conditions are expected in the specified area, usually within 24 hours.
What conditions are expected during each hurricane category?
Hurricane Category 1 Winds 74-95 mph with storm surge generally 4-5 ft. above normal. Damage primarily to unanchored mobile homes, shrubbery, trees, poorly constructed signs. No real damage to most building structures. Some coastal road flooding and minor pier damage.
Hurricane Category 2 Winds 96-110 mph with storm surge generally 6-8 ft. above normal. Some roofing material, door, and window damage of buildings. Considerable damage to shrubbery and trees with some trees blown down causing power outages. Considerable damage to mobile homes, poorly constructed signs, and piers. Flooding on coastal and low-lying escape routes 2-4 hours before arrival of the hurricane center.
Hurricane Category 3 Winds 111-130 mph with storm surge generally 9 - 12 ft. above normal. Structural damage to residences and utility buildings. Damage to shrubbery and trees.

Hurricane Safety Tips Before Hurricane Season Begins Be aware of the risks in your particular area (i.e. low-lying areas, etc.). Develop a hurricane action plan. Review the condition of emergency equipment (i.e. flashlights, radios, generators, etc.). Store an ample supply of non-perishable food and water to sustain your family for at least 1 week.
Before the Storm Closely monitor the storm through local media outlets. Closely monitor information pertaining to SGCC via the website (if available). Ensure your vehicle is fueled and serviced. Have extra cash on hand. Bring in lightweight objects from around your home that could become deadly projectiles during high winds (lawn furniture, grills, garden tools, potted plants).
During the Storm: Closely monitor local media outlets and the SGCC website (if available). Follow instructions of local and state officials. Evacuate immediately if told to do so.
If evacuating: Try to leave during daytime hours. Notify your family of your evacuation plans. Take your pets with you. (Shelters may not accept pets)
If staying at home: Only stay home if you have not been ordered to leave. Only stay inside a well-constructed building. Unplug small appliances. Fill bathtubs, sinks, or large containers, with water for sanitary purposes. Stay away from windows and doors.
After the storm: Check local media outlets for information. Never drive across standing or flowing water. Never approach or handle downed power lines. Do not drink tap water until declared safe by local officials. After the storm, intersections with non-functioning traffic signals should be treated as 4-way stop signs.
