Our February CAI Luncheon was on fire! It was all about preparing, protecting and planning for fire season. We had three great professionals who each brought something different to this outstanding educational program.


► Kara Foley from Seabreeze Management Company, Inc., AAMC told us about her experience as General Manager of Portola Springs during the Sllverado Fire.


Working with the local fire authority to devise an evacuation plan and communicating that plan to the membership prior to a fire can help relieve the stress of the situation. Emails, text blasts, and social media are all great ways to stay in contact with homeowners to let them know what their responsibilities are to prepare. Reach out to your insurance brokers and discuss the possibility of a fire so that you can plan for the financial implications.


► Mike Rey from Rey Insurance Services, Inc. explalned the role of an Insurance company In disaster rellef.


Most homeowners' insurance companies will be atthe evacuation site to help with supplies, information on emergency services, or relocating you temporarily if you are unable to return home. If you, the community manager, do not have the association's policy number on hand, the agent will still be able to place the claim with the name of the association.


► Juan Huerta a Fire Prevention spoke about the Importance


Specialist from OCFA of a fuel modification plan to mitigate wlldflre Incidents.


Be proactive, do not put off fuel modification in your community. Having a planned landscape design that reduces the threat of wildfire by creating a fire-resistant divider between homes and vegetation can help to protect firefighters, slow the spread of a wildfire, reduce direct flame and radiant heat, and improve the chances of survival of structures and communities. Work with your landscape team to develop a long- term plan. Juan also had some great tips on how homeowners can prepare their homes and reduce the risk of radiant heat, direct flame, or ember intrusion.
