In the event of a named storm in the Gulf, you will find the information you need for the latest announcements on this page.

It is important to monitor the local news, WOYS, and Franklin County Emergency Management Facebook page for updates as well as our website for pertinent homeowner updates. ANY ALERTS YOU CAN DOWNLOAD ARE VERY HELPFUL!

You will find detailed information on preparing your property for a storm by returning to the homepage and scrolling down to the Hurricane Preparedness tab. This includes our Sunset Beach manual which was carefully and thoughtfully assembled by the Hurricane Preparedness Committee.

In the event our HPC Plan is put into action, the following steps will be taken:
Kathy and Robin will secure the pool furniture and stake the utilities (please do not remove the stakes, we will get them after the storm). Robin will get a picture of the property as it is staked out to identify utilities post storm if necessary
The gates will be opened and will remain open until after the storm and the power has been returned.
The irrigation breaker will be turned off.
The elevator will be taken to the second floor. and power turned off to it.
The updated HPC manual is in the office as always.
Rob with Superior Coast Pools will make a determination if he needs to turn the pool and equipment off.
