📌 Hurricane Isaias Update 📌
We are monitoring the storm and have a detailed emergency preparedness plan in place to try and address all aspects of an emergency situation. Our coastal communities are equipped with water, food, onsite or ready-to-deploy generators, and supplies, including an adequate supply of face coverings, hand sanitizer and disinfectants to care for residents.
Our primary goal is to help ensure the ongoing safety of our residents. At this time, there is no call for evacuations. We are taking appropriate actions to keep residents safe throughout the storm and following the guidance and direction of authorities when it comes to potential evacuations.
We will update our Facebook page with any necessary updates regarding the status of the storm. For the most up-to-date information, please subscribe to our newsroom here:
