CAN ALERT: A Special Hurricane Guide Just For Associations!

Today, June 1st, marks the start of our 6-month hurricane season. If there is a downside to living in the beautiful state of Florida, it is the risk of a significant storm impacting our homes and our way of life. While we have no control over the weather patterns that impact us, we can do our best to prepare ourselves and our communities. 
 
At this time of year, most newspapers and other media outlets roll out their own hurricane guides. These guides contain many useful and practical tips such as "fill up your car with gas" or "turn down the temperature in your refrigerator" but they are not geared specifially to address the often unique issues which confront associations, their boards and their owners both before and after a storm. It is for this reason that the Community Advocacy Network (CAN) and its corporate sponsors are proud to unveil our Hurricane Guide for Community Associations to assist your community. Our Guide covers areas of concern when preparing for a storm event such as Contract Review, Document and Record Security, Facilities Preparation, the People Factor, Emergency Board Powers as well as Post Storm priorities. 
 
It is no secret that the communities which fared the best over the tumultous storm seasons several years ago were the ones who had planned in advance both in terms of organization as well as financial planning. Many of us learned the hard way what worked and what didn't with Irene, Ivan, Wilma and our other not-so-friendly visitors. 
 
We hope you never have to use the tips and suggestions found in the Post Storm section but if you do, please know that we are here to assist you. Please click the link below to view and print out your copy of the CAN/KGR Hurricane Guide. For maximum ease of reading, please make sure your printer is set at 100%. Hard copies of the guide are also available if needed. We are pleased to provide this information to all in need of it at no charge.

As always, I love hearing from so many of you so please let me know if our guide caused you to implement anything new for your community in terms of disaster planning.
