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. 9/8/2020 11:51 AM pg. 2 DISASTER PLAN Page # Preparations Now ......................................................................... 4 Pre-Actions after the Hurricane Warning ..................................... 5 Post Actions (After Hurricane) ..................................................... 8 IMPORTANT CONTACT INFORMATION ...................................... 9 IMPORTANT CONTACT INFORMATION, CONT. ........................ 10 Committee Contact Information .................................................. 11 Central Command Post ............................................................... 12 Central Command Cont’d ............................................................ 13 Residential Leader Duties ........................................................... 13 Residential Leaders: ................................................................... 14 Residential Leaders Cont’d ......................................................... 15 Volunteers .................................................................................. 16 Staff Information ........................................................................ 16 Contact Information Board of Governors .................................... 17 Appendix: ................................................................................... 18 Pre-Disaster Preparation and Packing Suggestions .................... 19 9/8/2020 11:51 AM pg. 3 Preparations Now 1.
