This plan may be adapted in the event of other emergencies as designated bythe General Manager of Club Operations, Golf Course Superintendent or Head Golf Professional. 5. When any type of potentially life threatening or propertydamaging situation occurs, the General Manager of Club Operations will assume the position of EPT Coordinator for Verandah Amenity 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 VERANDAH EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PLAN 2
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. VERANDAH EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PLAN 3

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. VERANDAH EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PLAN 5

A community’s evacuation recommendation/order will depend on the characteristics of a storm: 3. All employees will be released from their job assignments at least 24 hours before the storm hits landfall until further notice. Employees will be given a list of possible shelters in the immediate area Appendix O. Radio and television news sources will clarify the open shelters. VERANDAH EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PLAN 7
When sustained storm winds reach 40-45 mph, emergency governmental agencies, by procedure, will not respond to an emergency call because of personal and equipment safety reasons. Bridges in Lee County will close in 40 mile per hour winds by procedure. Driving a vehicle becomes unsafe with sustained winds of 40 miles per hour. 4. Sustained winds are defined by official announcements from the National Weather Service or Lee County Emergency Management. C. On-Site Access Authorizations 1. The community patrol team will continue to staff each gatehouse entry to Verandah, during minimal storm conditions until the 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 notice.
