Stay Safe and Prepared

While we enjoy the many benefits of urban life, it’s essential that we stay prepared for potential emergencies such as earthquakes and fires. Being prepared can make all the difference in ensuring our safety and the safety of our loved ones.

Why Prepare?

Preparation is key to ensuring our safety during unexpected events. Here are some compelling reasons to get prepared:

Fire: In a dense urban living environment, understanding fire safety and having a plan can be critical to ensuring you and your family respond safely and efficiently in the event of a fire.

Earthquakes: Our city is in an earthquake-prone area. A well-prepared household can minimize injury and damage.

Community Safety: Being prepared means you can help not only your family but also your neighbors, contributing to a safer and more resilient community.

Steps You Can Take

Create an Emergency Kit: Ensure you have essentials like water, non-perishable food, medications, a flashlight, batteries, and first-aid supplies.

Develop a Household Plan: Discuss and plan what each household member should do during an emergency. Know how to turn off utilities and establish a meeting point.

Stay Informed: Keep updated on emergency alerts and weather conditions. Sign up for local notification systems.

Report Special Assistance Needs:  Arterra keeps a list of all residents who may require special assistance during emergency evacuation events.  This list will be immediately provided to emergency services when they arrive to assist with an emergency evacuation.  Please report to HOA management if you may require special assistance during an evacuation!
