Emergency Planning Meeting

Community Emergency Preparedness

Emergency water supply generator and BOARD communication

During our recent power outage, the Nisqually Pines residents did not have water.  While the City of Yelm offered its water to the Nisqually Pines residents, this information was absent from the BOARD.

The water manager's wife, Readerlady, recently indicated from a STUDY SESSION:

"Eric brought up the generator needed on the wells. Board president said it was a no go based on a discussion she had with the USDA guy. Some of us, including other board members, pushed to have the rest of the board follow up on this as we were told when voting for this that if we had money left over we could get a generator for the wells. Keep an eye on this one folks!"

A recent readerboard message indicates that there is a Community Emergency Response Team - CERT meeting on Sunday, March 25, 2012 at 7PM.  

During the January 2012 storm our community was without WATER and ELECTRICITY for several days.  The readerboard notified the community of the BOIL WATER NOTICE.  

Many community members feel that this was

 inadequate community notification 

and were shocked to learn that 

inspite of homeowner information given upon joining the HOA 

THERE IS NO COMMUNITY EMERGENCY RESPONSE.

1. Who is in charge of opening our clubhouse during an emergency?
2. How can our community members become involved in our community emergency committee?
3. How is the community emergency response team notified of a community emergency?
4. Who is in charge of the signage for our emergency community shelter?  
5. What is the written procedure during a boil water notice? 
6. Who is in charge of the emergency generator for the clubhouse?
7. Who are the community members on this committee and what are their positions?  
8. Why has nothing been stated earlier of this committee?
9. What is the status of our emergency water supply generator?
10. Will the HOA submit debris and damages to the county and to FEMA for the January storm?

• There is a long standing Petition to the community with regards to mandating that BOARD MEMBERS provide at the least an email address or phone number to the community. Click here to sign it and deliver it to the BOARD.

This is especially important during times of State declared Emergencies.
