Safety Committee SAFETY 4 "ALL" SEASONS ere are several significant possible risks to the Four Seasons community including earthquakes, hazardous materials spills, wildfires, and severe weather. To respond to these potential emergencies, the Safety Committee has updated the Residents' Emergency Handbook. is handbook provides general information to assist Four Seasons residents in taking care of themselves during a disaster. You need to be prepared to handle the consequences of any disaster without immediate outside assistance. e following information is excerpted from the 2024 Residents' Emergency Handbook: MAKE A PLAN Meet with your family or household members and discuss how to prepare and respond to emergencies that are most likely to happen. Identify responsibilities for each member of your household and plan to work together as a team. Plan what to do in case you are separated during an emergency. • Choose two places to meet: Right outside your home in case of a sudden emergency Outside your neighborhood if you cannot return home or are asked to evacuate • Choose an out-of-area emergency contact person. It may be easier to text or call long distance if local phone lines are overloaded or out of service. • Everyone should have emergency contact information in writing and/or programmed into their cell phones. Plan what to do if you must evacuate. • Decide where you would go and what route you would take to get there. You may choose to go to a hotel/motel, stay with friends or relatives in a safe location, or go to an evacuation shelter. • Practice evacuating your home twice a year and identify alternate routes. • Plan for your pets. Keep a phone list of pet-friendly hotels/ motels and animal shelters that are along your evacuation routes. Learn how to help others and then share what you've learned. • Enroll in the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training class and learn how to help your neighbors in an emergency. • Make sure that at least one member of your household is trained in first aid and CPR and knows how to use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). • Tell others about what you've learned and encourage them to be informed. Be an advocate for preparedness.
