Other Storm Preparations

In addition, the following preparations are currently taking place:

• In preparation for the potential of sustained winds higher than 20 mph, Community Watch removed the gate arms throughout the community.  As you approach a gate in which the gate arm has been removed, use caution and stop before proceeding.

• Outdoor furniture may be secured or placed indoors.

• Irrigation may run along common areas and roadways to lower the water levels in water retention areas. This is done to ensure adequate capacity of the storm water management system.
