We Have Created Our Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)

We have created our Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) for Waterfront at Main Street. To successfully do this we need more volunteers from our neighborhood. If you are interested in serving please let us know. We can use full and part time people - if you are not here you don't help, and many of us travel a great deal and may be away when a disaster hits.

During a major disaster such as a hurricane emergency services may be overwhelmed. We may have to take care of ourselves during the emergency. Lakewood Ranch has a very active CERT program and our Team would be part of the Lakewood Ranch CERT. Since so many of us travel, we are hoping to get 6 or more volunteers on our team so that we would likely have at least 3 volunteers present in case of a disaster. Remember, CERT would only be activated should a major disaster occur.

It is unlikely that we will be hit by a major disaster since our buildings are modern and built to withstand all major wind events. But our windows are rated to withstand a Category 4 hurricane, and we could get a Category 5.  And of course we could lose electricity, water pressure and communications and elevators. So all of us should individually prepare for disasters, and our CERT team will also prepare.

We will keep our information online at: https://waterfrontatmainstreet.blogspot.com/. The address is https://waterfrontatmainstreet.com/ fairly easy to remember - it is the same as our website except that it ends with .blogspot.com instead of .com
