The Association’s insurance policies cover the Buildings, structures and any equipment serving the Building. This includes elevators, lobbies, stairways, guest suites, recreation facilities, common element area furnishings, signs, etc. It also provides liability insurance in the event someone is injured on common property. Please be aware that the policies do not insure flooring, wall or ceiling coverings, improvements (i.e., carpet, paneling, tiles, wallpaper, fixtures, equipment serving the Unit) which are part of the individual unit. You may contact the management office if you need a Certificate of Insurance (COI) for these policies to provide to your mortgage lender, attorney or financial advisor.
HOMEOWNER’S INSURANCE
Although liability and property insurance on the building and common areas is maintained, it is the responsibility of each condominium resident to arrange for their own insurance coverage (Florida HO-6) policy. This coverage is to protect the condominium Unit, your personal property and your personal liability. The HO-6 policy may also cover living expenses incurred if the condominium is uninhabitable. Coverage should be in effect on the date of closing.
Your individual policy should cover anything in the unit that is not covered by the policies discussed above, such as carpet, flooring, wallpaper, cabinets, fixtures and built-in additions. Windstorm and flood insurance must also be considered to provide coverage for damage to your residence due to water intrusion.
A loss assessment rider will cover some of the expenses if a special assessment is levied in the event of an uninsured or catastrophic loss incurred by the Association. Please consult with your insurance agent for specific coverage information.
An insurance agent or attorney should review your Condominium Documents to help determine exactly what should be covered by your individual policy. Remember that no significant risk should be left uncovered, and Unit Owners should make sure they are aware of what property they are responsible for insuring.

EMERGENCY PLANNING INFORMATION
FIRE Every residence and hallway in the building is equipped with a sprinkler system, which is intended to activate automatically in the event of a fire. If you should see or suspect fire anywhere in the building, pull the handle on any fire alarm. If you are in your residence when the fire alarm is activated, the following are steps which are highly recommended:
IF YOU ARE ABLE TO EVACUTE:
Proceed to the closest fire exit.
Before leaving your unit, check that the front door is not hot and that smoke is not coming from under the door. If either of these two occurs, DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR.
Call 911 and follow the dispatcher’s instructions.
IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, DO NOT USE THE ELEVATORS. Use the nearest fire exit stairway and stay to the right-hand side so that firemen can have easy access. To exit the building quickly, remove high heels while descending the stairway. Stay low to the ground to avoid smoke inhalation and try to remain in a group.
Exit the building and provide information to the fire department. Do not try to re-enter your residence or use any stairwell until approval is given by the Fire Department.
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO EVACUATE YOUR UNIT:
Call 911.
Fill the bathtub with water.
Keep a wet cloth over your nose and mouth. Use wet towels and sheets to block cracks around the front door.
Turn off air-conditioning vents in the unit.
If the doors and walls, hallway or adjacent units become hot, throw water on them. Keep away from walls next to the hallway.
HURRICANES
Unit Owners should consider the following recommendations:
Remove all furniture, potted plants and loose objects from your balconies and/or terraces. Items left out could be swept away by wind, causing injury and property damage.
Close and firmly lock all sliding glass doors and windows.
Place towels at the bottom of all doors leading to the balconies to limit water intrusion.
Check all faucets to determine that they are in the closed position
For additional safety, you can turn off the main water supply to your unit.
Check stove and oven to be certain that they are turned off.
Fill vehicles with gasoline as soon as a Hurricane Watch is issued. Make arrangements to have vehicles moved to a safe location. Any vehicles remaining on the property may be damaged by flooding or high winds.
Turn off air conditioning units to protect them from power surges.
- 34 -
Be aware that, prior to leaving the property, your building staff will lock elevators on a high floor to protect them from damage and will leave garage gates in the open position.
Prepare for the loss of utility services. (You will be much more comfortable if you make prior arrangements to stay with a friend or in a hotel.)
If you do not reside in the Unit during hurricane season, you should take many of the precautions listed above before leaving the unit for extended periods of time or arrange ahead of time for a hurricane caretaker to prepare the unit in your absence. It is imperative that Management be provided with the name and phone number of your hurricane caretaker.
