                  Emergency Preparedness Plan and EPT.
           6.     The Verandah Emergency Preparedness Plan and Team will be
                  updated annually or as necessary.
          7.      There are no critical emergency or health maintenance facilities
                  (nursing homes, fire stations, etc.) on Verandah property.
          8.      Verandah does not have a Hurricane Shelter for residents and
                  employees on the property.

     B.   Storm Grade Terms Defined
Advisory: Advisory messages are issued by the National Hurricane
             Center, concerning all tropical depressions, tropical storms and
             hurricanes at midnight, 6 a.m., 12 noon and 6 p.m. These advisories are
             supplemented at 3-hour intervals when landfall is likely within 24 hours.
             An advisory gives details as to where the storm is located, its intensity,
             direction and speed of movement. Precautionary measures are given for
             ships and coastal residents near the storm center. Advisories are
             broadcast over most radio and TV stations.
             Tropical Storm Watch: Tropical Storm Watch conditions include winds
             of 39-73 miles per hour and a possible strike in a specific coastal area
             within 48 hours.

             Tropical Depression: A Tropical Depression is a closed circulation of low
             atmospheric pressure originating over tropical waters that blow counter-
             clockwise around a center at speeds less than 39 miles per hour.

             Tropical Storm Warning: Tropical Storm Warning conditions include
             winds of 39-73 miles per hour, which are expected to strike a specific
             coastal area within 36 hours.

             Hurricane Watch: Hurricane Watch indicates that a hurricane is near
             enough that everybody in the area covered by the “WATCH” should listen
             for subsequent advisories and be ready to take precautionary measures.
             Watches are usually issued 48 hours in advance of a hurricane landfall.
             Hurricane Watch conditions mean a violent storm has originated over
             tropical water with sustained (constant) winds over 74 miles per hour.

             Hurricane Warning: A Hurricane Warning issued by the National
             Hurricane Center means that sustained winds of 74 miles per hour or
             higher associated with a hurricane are expected in a specific coastal area
             in 36 hours or less. All precautions should be taken immediately.

             Hurricane: A Hurricane is a violent storm originating over tropicalwaters
             with sustained winds over 74 miles per hour. The winds, as in tropical
             depressions and storms, blow in a counter-clockwise direction around the
             center. Diameter of these storms range from 100 to 1,000 miles. To make
             predicted hazards of an approaching hurricane easier to understand,
             hurricane forecasters have developed a disaster potential scale which
             assigns storms to five categories. This scale is called the
             SAFFIR/SIMPSON scale.

                        Category       Wind Speed   Damage
                           1            74-95 MPH   Minimal
                           2           96-110 MPH   Moderate

3         111-130 MPH   Extensive
                             4         131-155 MPH   Extreme
                             5           Over 155
                                                     Catastrophic
                                          MPH

             Wind: Strong surface winds can cause a barrage of sand and debris
             problems. Hurricanes can have sustained winds from 74 miles per hour to
             more than 200 miles per hour. Strong winds can sever power and
             communication lines. Branches from trees are severed and many trees are
             felled. Mobile homes and manufactured homes should be vacated. Roofs
             can be damaged, and windows broken by flying debris. Poorly built
             structures collapse. Small craft are damaged or destroyed by being pushed
             up against their moorings. Winds in excess of 45 miles per hour begin to
             cause damage to traffic signals and trees.
             Tornadoes: Multiple tornadoes may form in the tornado feeder bands can
             cause small-scale destruction. These tornadoes can inflict tremendous
             damage without warning.
             Torrential Rain: Torrential rains associated with hurricanes andtropical
             storms can cause widespread fresh water flooding inland. Amounts of 20
             inches or more are possible in a twenty-four-hour period. Heavy rain will
             drown plants in low-lying areas and increase the probability of disease
             and pest infestation in those plants that survive. Insects, vermin, dead
             animals and polluted waters from sewage backup may create health
             problems. Life threatening problems are minimal.
             Storm Surge: The rapidly rising surge is the hurricane’s killer threat.
             Ninety percent of people who lose their lives in hurricanes do so by
             drowning. Rising tide levels from 2 to 25 feet can occur in SW Florida as
             the storm makes landfall. The amount of damage depends on the
             hurricane category, direction, size and landfall point. The storm surge
             causes saltwater flooding crippling communication, sewage backup and
             drinking water to become contaminated. The surge flooding fills streets
             with debris. Clogs drains and washes out roads that are used for
             evacuation routes.
             SLOSH: (Sea, Lake and Overland Surges from Hurricanes) is a
             computerized model run by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) to
             estimate storm surge heights resulting from historical, hypothetical, or
             predicted hurricanes by considering it is used for determining the
             maximum surge for a location.
             FEMA: Flood Insurance Rate Map. Used to determine flood zone the
             community is in and whether or not insurance is required.

C.     Emergency Plan Team (EPT) Plan Implementers
             Jay Severson, General Manager of Club Operations will be responsible
             for the implementation of Verandah Emergency Preparedness Plan Team
             (EPT). His phone contact information is listed in A. 1. above. See
             Appendix A for entire Emergency Preparedness Team.
      D.     Updating Emergency Preparedness Plan and Appendix Documents
             The Emergency Preparedness Plan and Appendix documents will be
             updated annually or as necessary. Employees will attend orientation and
             will be briefed on the Hurricane Preparedness Plan.

II.   HAZARD ANALYSIS
      A.     Known Hazards
             The administration and staff at Verandah recognize that we are
             vulnerable to all-natural disasters known to the area i.e. hurricanes,
             chemical spills, tornadoes, flooding, fires, fuel, and some exposure due to
             materials transported by construction traffic. There are CO2 storage
             tanks, pesticide and fertilizer products stored on the property. The Fort
             Myers Shores Fire Department and Florida State Regulatory Agencies are
             aware of areas that could be of concern. See Appendix S, K.
      B.     Site Specific Information
             1.     See Appendix B for the area location map.
             2.     See Appendix D for the street or site map.
             3.     Verandah is under construction and is scheduled to be under
                    construction at least through 2022. The total number of approved
                    single-family homes is 1,275 and multi-family homes are 362 with 2
                    golf courses on 1451 acres.
             6.    Hurricane season is June 1 through November 30. At this date,
                   approximately 120 employees work at various locations on the
                   property and 700 + homes have residents living in them. There may
                   be some periods of time when tournaments and other functions will
                   involve large numbers of people at Verandah on a temporary basis.
                   As the property is developed, an assumed maximum number of
                   residents and guests are 4000 individuals.
             7.    The FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map Designated Verandah
                   residential community in Zone AE. (Flood Insurance is required)
             8.    Fixed facilities maintained by Verandah departmental entities
                   include The Sales & Information Center; Gatehouse, Golf House,
                   Boat House, River House, 2 Golf Courses, Tennis and Fitness
                   Center, Golf Maintenance, 4 Golf Shelters, and Cart Barn Facility.
                   Several of these fixed facilities are vulnerable to hazardous material
                   incidents.

                          unwrapped, or materials stored outside containers. Detail list
                          Appendix X.
III.   OPERATIONS
       A.     EPT Management Structure
             1. The person in charge at the property site during an emergency is Trish
                Snook, the Community Patrol Manager. The alternative is JakeWentz,
                Superintendent Golf Course Operations.
             2. A process will be developed to activate the Residential Emergency
                Preparedness. Our Community Patrol has specific procedures for
                weather emergencies. Several departments will have a weather radio
                or TV to monitor any potentially dangerous storm systems. All
                employees will assume responsibilities for their department’s
                Preparedness Plan. Appendix A.

       B.    Residential Preparedness Programs
             1.     Verandah does not have a Hurricane shelter for the purpose of
                    housing residents, members or employees during emergencies.
             2.     Each employee should review a copy of the Emergency
                    Preparedness Plan at his or her department specific orientation and
                    on an annual basis thereafter.
             3.     The Community Patrol and the Gatehouse on Verandah Blvd. will
                    be the primary on-site station for information and direction for
                    residents and staff prior to, after and during an impending weather
                    emergency. The primary source of information will be radio,
                    television, and other communication facilities, which will provide
                    direct information on the weather event from Lee County
                    Emergency Management and other government weather centers. All
                    departments on site will assist in the evacuation of members,
                    residents and employees if called upon to do so.

IV.     INFORMATION, TRAINING & EXERCISE
        A.    For Community Residents:
              1.    The residents at Verandah will be informed of weather emergencies
                    using weather radios or TVs in designated areas. The Lee County
                    Emergency Management Team will provide weather Emergency
                    Seminars annually. When appropriate, the club newsletters and new
                    resident welcome packet will include informative facts regarding
                    hurricane awareness, seminar listings and other weather
                    emergencies. A weather flag system will be usedat the gatehouses.
              2.   Residents will be informed when they purchase property at
                   Verandah of the existence of an Emergency Preparedness Plan.
                   Emergency Information is located on verandahlife.com under the
                   VCA tab/Hurricane Plan. The ultimate weather safety
                   responsibilities and decisions remain with each individual resident
                   and Verandah assumes no liability for such safety responsibilities
                   or decisions made by the homeowner’s association or resident.

B. For Community Employees:
      1. During initial training periods, designated employees will learn their
         responsibilities regarding weather emergencies. Appendix K contains a listing
         of all Verandah employees by department.
      2. Annual training of all employees will be continued throughout their
         employment. Meetings will be held in each department for updates on the
         Emergency Preparedness Plan and training sessions. Mock drills will be held
         each year to review and update the Emergency Preparedness Plan.

                    plan and the EPT Coordinator will go over any changes or questions

                    execute their Emergency Check List and be prepared to leave the
                    community at the appropriate time.

                   employee release is implemented. Upon evacuation, all entry and exit
                   gate barrier arms will be removed, the gatehouses secured, and
                   community patrol team staff released from duty tours until further

                    Managers by any means possible when it is safe to return to
                    Verandah property. EPT Area Managers will attend an emergency
                    meeting to assess damage and formulate plans for clean-up and
                    recovery.
             2.    The Golf House or other designated safe Command Center will re-
                   open to coordinate and prioritize clean-up and repairs with the EPT
                   Area Managers and staff. The EPT will assess each area of Verandah
                   property and buildings to determine when it is feasible for employees
                   to return to the property. Areas accessible for staff will be posted at
                   the Command Center, Sales & Information Center. EPT Area

                    landscaping, power lines etc. as soon as it is feasible. Those
                    photographs will be compared with ones taken prior to damage for
                    insurance claims. Residential homes should be included in this
                    procedure. Homeowners should be encouraged to photograph their
