Emergencies

The most probable emergencies for our residents might result from severe weather, power loss, fire, pandemics, terrorist attacks, or health related issues. There may be others, of course, and they all may not be listed here. However, being prepared may lessen your chances of being negatively affected by any of the above.

One way the Brookridge Estates Homes Association (BEHA) board might contact you could be through the use of street captains calling you to warn of a rapid advancing emergency. Another way might be to contact you through emails. It is important that you share your email with us for this reason.

This does not lessen your own responsibility for you and your family's safety.

There are websites that are quite compehensive concerning emergencies.
