Where can I find the complete ORPS Emergency Response Plan on-line? The complete (4-page) Emergency Response Plan is easily accessible on the ORPS.com website on the home page. Simply click on the “ Emergency Prepared- ness ” quick link. The plan can also be found in the own- er ’ s Enumerate Engage member portal by clicking on the “ Resources ” tab on the left side of the page and scrolling down to the “ Emergency Preparedness Plan ” link. Which side of the road should I walk on? Walking on the left side of the street facing oncoming traffic is safer because it allows you to see approaching vehicles, make eye contact with drivers, and have more time to react to potential dangers. This practice gives you a better chance to move out of the way if a car or golf cart veers off course, as you can see them coming and take evasive action. This practice is widely recom- mended within ORPS to increase visibility for both the pedestrian and the driver. The Safety & Security Committee is always looking for new volunteers to join the ORPS Emergency Response Team! If you are interested then please contact any of the committee members for additional information.
Last season the SSC distributed newly created red emergency preparedness cards into all owners ’ mailboxes. Since then, these red cards have been included in all new owner and renter welcome packets. The goal is to ensure all owners and renters have these 2-sided cards readily available and take advantage of the information provided. If you cannot locate your emergency preparedness card then replacements can be obtained at the ORPS administrative office near the
