Emergency Preparedness & Public Safety

The American Red Cross reminds us: “Disaster can strike at any time! Whether a house fire or a
9.0 earthquake, a single disaster can change your physical, emotional, and financial health in a
matter of seconds.” Disaster preparedness starts with YOU!

The Homeowners Associations of Charbonneau Country Club have a plan in place to help
residents care for themselves in the event of a major disaster such as an earthquake, ice storm,
fire, or extended power outage, especially when that event will overwhelm emergency
responders. Our team of HOA Captains and Medically Trained Residents numbers more than
175 residents.

It is the goal of this team to educate homeowners on how vital it is to have a community-based
plan in place. It is also important to recognize that the job of this Team is NOT to take the place
of emergency responders but to acknowledge that in a disaster, your most immediate sources
of help are the neighbors living around you.

Every home should have a RED Emergency Preparedness Plan folder with basic information
about the plan and what first steps to take both in your own home and in your neighborhood. If
your home does not have a red Emergency Preparedness folder the best way to receive one is
to check the list of HOA Captains and ask for one. Most of the HOA’s have customized
the folders for their area, including maps.

Included here is a roster of the Emergency Preparedness/Public Safety (EPPS) committee
members who oversee both Charbonneau’s emergency plans and public safety issues. EPPS
works with law enforcement and our security contractor, Corporate Crime Control, on issues of
personal and home security within the community as well as things like walking safety and
traffic issues. Please feel free to contact your HOA Captain or any one of us if you have questions.

We hope you will be part of this important safety plan. REMEMBER: In a disaster, your most
immediate source of help are the neighbors living around you.
Disaster preparedness starts with you!
