Green Acres Emergency Flood Plan

All tenants should have a NOAA weather radio or a weather application that will alert them of imminent weather conditions.
Green Acres Management will have a direct line of communication with emergency officials when there is a threat of dangerous weather conditions. In the event of evacuation Management will notify all tenants in the park.
The community manager or a representative will do what’s possible to ensure that everyone has been evacuated.
Tenants need to be familiar with evacuation routes, shelter plans, and flash flood response. Gather supplies, including non-perishable foods, cleaning supplies, and water for several days, in case you must leave immediately or if services are cut off in your area.
Management will work with local emergency officials in opening a local shelter and obtaining needed supplies, and will provide that information to tenants as soon as it has been determined through mass text broadcast and phone calls.

Evacuate immediately, if told to evacuate. Never drive around barricades. Local responders use them to safely direct traffic out of flooded areas.
Contact your healthcare provider If you are sick and need medical attention. Wait for further care instructions and shelter in place, if possible. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 9-1-1.
Listen to EAS, NOAA Weather Radio or local alerting systems for current emergency information and instructions regarding flooding.
