FIRE DRILLS –
Develop a plan
for where you will go in the case
of a fire. Who should be contact-
ed? What medications will need to
be replaced? Practice exiting your
home quickly and make sure items
and furniture do not block possible
exits.
IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE -
Always
call 911. Better safe than sorry. Don’t
pour water on a grease fire. Douse it
with baking soda or use your type ABC
fire extinguisher.
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
PROTOCOL -
After calling 911,
management should be contacted. At
that time, management will call the
association’s insurance company. The
insurance adjuster will quickly arrive
at the community to meet with the
owner /resident and management.
Management takes the roll of the quar-
terback and coordinates all parties
involved.
A restoration company is called;
living arrangements may have to be
made for the displaced. Neighbors
need to be contacted and adjacent
homes inspected. An alert to the
owner and residents at large is sent
out via email blast & one call system,
which is like a reverse 911.
The clean out and restoration of
the home begins as soon as the
Fire Marshal clears the home for
re-entry.
Depending on the severity, the
rebuild could take many months.
Homeowners should make sure
they have insurance for relocations
should a home become inhabitable.
Incorporating these items into your
life may save your life.
