Hurricane Irma: Cleanup

South Florida dodged a bullet and were spared the worst of Hurricane Irma, however she did cause an enormous amount of damage to the trees on the property as well as our member's front/rear fences, roofs, cars, etc... Members of the board went through the community on Monday morning to assess the damage and had some crews begin clearing some of the trees blocking roads. Cleanup efforts will continue throughout the next several weeks. Members are asked to place plant debris in community piles.  Miami Dade County has requested that yard trash not be mixed with other household trash such as furniture, carpeting, etc... so please keep it separate to speedup the cleanup process.

If you have a tree in your front yard that suffered damage during the storm and are unable to clear the tree, the Association will be entering those properties to take care of those issues as time permits to assist you. Please be patient as we go about cleanup activities throughout the property and if you have any questions, please Contact Us and we will get back to you. Please stay safe as you go about the cleanup of your properties and let us know if you you encounter any difficulties.

Hurricane Irma Preparations

Hurricane Irma has South Florida in its crosshairs, with landfall expected sometime between Saturday and Sunday. We hope that our members are taking this storm seriously and have begun preparations to secure their homes.  During preparations, we are asking our members to please NOT place any bulk waste of any kind out in front of their homes. Hurricane Irma is expected to be a Category 4 storm when it reaches Florida and any unsecured debris that is left outdoors could become a projectile. Anyone having any bulk waste will need to take that waste to the Sunset/Kendall Trash & Recycling center which is located at 8000 SW 107th Ave while it is still open.  Any member placing bulk waste in front or rear of their unit from Wednesday, September 6th to Sunday, September 10th will have that bulk waste removed by the Association with the costs of removal charged to their account.  Any member observing any illegal dumping within the community is asked to please Contact Us immediately.  This is a safety concern which Association takes very seriously. Resident having any questions or concerns about issues that relate to the coming storm or need references for individuals that can assists them with storm preparations, please Contact Us.

Members of the Board will be on hand after the storm passes to check for any possible damage on the property and coordinate cleanup efforts in the community where necessary. Please keep a copy of our phone number found on our Contact Us page.  In the event that you no longer have access to email, you may leave us voice mail or text us should you need to reach us after the storm.

This Friday's curbside garbage collection might be cancelled.  Before placing your trash out on Thursday night, please check with the MDC Emergency Operations Center (EOC) to make sure pickup hasn't been canceled. Some local news outlets have reported that it has been suspended. Please keep informed and up to date by periodically checking with Miami Dade County's EOC at: http://www.miamidade.gov/emergency. Miami Dade County Police will also posting updates on Nextdoor.com.

Stay safe and be prepared for Hurricane Irma.

Secure Your Home

• Install hurricane shutters over windows and doors.
• Bring in all loose items left outside. Objects that are too big to bring in must be securely anchored. Large planters can be placed right next to the house.
• Fill your car's gas tank as soon as possible if you haven't done so already.
• Take down hanging plants.
• Consider checking your car into a public garage or park the car as close to the front of your home as possible. Avoid parking near trees.
• Close and secure shutters. If you do not have shutters, mount plywood across windows and sliding glass doors.  DO NOT PLACE TAPE ON YOUR WINDOWS as this offers no protection and will be difficult to remove afterwards.
• Bring in or tie down all loose items from your yard, such as toys, bicycles, patio furniture, grills and garbage cans.
• Do not leave debris such as trimmings in the yard or along the street. The storm could turn these into missiles.
• Remove turbine vents on the roof and replace with metal caps.
• Take down satellite dishes and TV antennas that are secured against the fascia as this will tear up your roof if the winds are high enough.  It should not have been secured that way to begin with.
• Bring the pets indoors. They should be wearing identification and have a two-week supply of food.
• By Saturday evening, stay off the roads. It's too late to get supplies by that time, and you'll be competing with people trying evacuate to shelters.
• Conditions will deteriorate rapidly, sometimes hours before landfall, so get inside and be safe.
