Be Prepared for Disasters
If you think hurricanes, wildfires, tornadoes and floods won’t happen to you or that you don’t
need to insure against these disasters, you’re among the nearly half of U.S. homeowners and
renters who lack the insurance coverage to deal with potential losses, according to the Nation-
al Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC).
In a recent NAIC national survey, about 48 percent of homeowners and renters said
they did not have an inventory of their possessions. Of those who reported having a checklist,
32 percent had not taken any pictures and 58 percent had no receipts validating the cost of
their possessions. In addition, 44 percent of respondents acknowledged that they had not
stored their inventory in a separate location.
Here are some tips from the NAIC to help you prepare for disasters:
Take an inventory of your valuables and belongings. This should include taking photographs
or a video of each room. This documentation will provide your insurance company with proof
of your belongings and help to process claims more quickly in the event of disaster.
To enable filing claims more quickly, keep sales receipts and canceled checks. Also note the
model and serial numbers of the items in your home inventory.
As you acquire more valuables such as jewelry or antiques, consider purchasing an addition-
al floater or rider to your policy to cover these special items. These types of items typically
are not covered by a basic homeowner’s or renter's insurance policy.
Remember to include in your home inventory those items you rarely use such as holiday
decorations, sports equipment and tools.
Store copies of all your insurance policies in a safe location away from your home that is
easily accessible in case of disaster. You may want to store your policies and inventory in a
waterproof, fireproof box or in a safe location such as a bank safe deposit box.
Consider leaving a copy of your inventory with relatives, friends or your insurance provider
and store digital pictures in your e-mail or on a website for easy retrieval.
Know what is and is not covered by your insurance policy. You might need additional pro-
tection depending on where you live. Make sure your policies are up to date. Contact your
insurance provider annually to review and update your insurance policy.
Keep a readily available list of 24-hour contact information for each of your insurance pro-
viders.
Find out if your possessions are insured for the actual cash value or the replacement cost.
Actual cash value is the amount it would take to repair or replace your home and possessions
after depreciation, while replacement cost is the amount it would take to repair or replace
your home or possessions without deducting for depreciation. Speak with your insurance pro-
vider to determine whether purchasing replacement coverage is worth the cost.
Speak with your insurance provider to find out if your policy covers additional living ex-
penses for a temporary residence if you are unable to live in your home due to damage from a
disaster.
Appraise your home periodically to make sure your insurance policy reflects home improve-
ments or renovations. Contact your insurance provider to update your policy.

SURFSIDE DEPUTY REPORT
DEPUTY T. OSTGAARD
The following are the calls I handled for the week of October 1st, 2015 to October 7th, 2015.
For the week I gave 7 traffic warnings and issued 2 citations.
On 10/01 I was left a note about a suspicious circumstances incident in the 30000 block of U Pl. I contacted the reporting party
and she stated a younger male ran down the road without his shirt on, then ran back and ran around her neighbor’s yard. She
stated he was acting strange and wanted me to know.
On 10/01 I was dispatched to a welfare check in the 32200 block of N Pl. I attempted to contact the female homeowner, but got
no answer at the door. I was advised by the reporting party that she had not seen the female subject since August. I also at-
tempted to contact the female subject’s friends/family by phone, but got no answer. I spoke with neighbors and no one knew if
she was home for sure, but the TV was on and there was a cat inside. A locksmith was called and he let me in to the house. No
one was inside. A neighbor was able to get a hold of a friend of the victim and found out that the subject was out of town still.
On 10/03 I was dispatched to the 34800 block of G St. for the report of a fireworks complaint. I arrived in the area and contact-
ed multiple residents and they stated it was actually shooting from a small caliber gun, but had stopped about 5 minutes before
I had arrived. I sat in the area and did not hear any further shots.
On 10/04 I was dispatched to the 700 block of Oysterville Rd. for an alarm. I arrived and contacted a real estate agent and it
was a false alarm.
On 10/04 I was received multiple reports of shots fired coming from the area of 324th and Q Ln. The person shooting had
called in prior to shooting and advised me he would be shooting most of the afternoon. He is not in Surfside and shooting in to
a backstop.

Shoreline Master Programs
Shoreline Master Programs are local land use policies and regulations designed to manage shoreline use. These local programs protect natural resources for future generations, pro-
vide for public access to public waters and shores, and plan for water-dependent uses. They are created in partnership with the local community and Ecology, and must comply with
the state Shoreline Management Act and Shoreline Master Program Guidelines. Washing-ton’s Shoreline Management Act was passed by the State Legislature in 1971 and adopted by
voters in 1972. The overarching goal of the Act is "to prevent the inherent harm in an uncoordinated and piecemeal development of the state’s shorelines."
Where does the Act apply?
The Act applies to all 39 counties and more than 200 towns and cities that have "shorelines of the state" (RCW 90.58.030(2)) within their boundaries. These shorelines are defined as:
All marine waters; streams and rivers with greater than 20 cubic feet per second mean an-nual flow; lakes 20 acres or larger; upland areas called shorelands that extend 200 feet land-ward from the edge of these waters; and the following areas when they are associated with one of the above: biological wetlands and river deltas; and some or all of the 100-year flood-plain including all wetlands within the 100-year floodplain.
The Act also states that "the interests of all the people shall be paramount in the manage-ment of shorelines of statewide significance." These special shorelines are defined as:
Pacific Coast, Hood Canal and certain Puget Sound shorelines; all waters of Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca; lakes or reservoirs with a surface acreage of 1,000 acres or more; larger rivers (1,000 cubic feet per second or greater for rivers in Western Washington, 200 cubic feet per second and greater east of the Cascade crest); and wetlands associated with all the above.

SURFSIDE EMERGENCY CACHE SURVEY
The Pacific County Emergency Management Agency advises that within 30 minutes of an earthquake, a wave
as high as 30 feet could reach Ocean Park. The Emergency Management Committee has worked to get a Surf-
side Pedestrian Evacuation Map printed and available for residents and guests. While you may think you can
just pack your car and drive away – this won’t be possible or practical in the event of a localized event. It is
imperative that you familiarize yourself with guidance on the Surfside Pedestrian Evacuation Map and the Pa-
cific County Tsunami Evacuation Map for Ocean Park and vicinity. Top priority is getting to high ground (50
feet or higher) quickly and safely.
In the event of a tsunami it could take 3-7 days before supplies and assistance reach Surfside.
When disaster strikes there may be no time to gather the things you need — you need to be able to “grab
and go” or “duck, cover and hold” at a moment’s notice.
Each household should prepare kits appropriate for your family members and your business now — it can
save lives and ensure your relative comfort until help arrives.
Other tsunami vulnerable communities in nearby Oregon, residents have taken the extra steps to be better
prepared by establishing emergency supply caches in designated safe high ground areas.
After studying emergency caching efforts in other communities, the Emergency Management Committee has
come to the conclusion that Surfside residents and visitors could benefit from a similar program.
It is believed that more people would benefit from a 3-5 day emergency kit if they had a safe place to store it.
This way, in the case of a real disaster – your supplies could be accessed and you wouldn’t have to worry about
carrying them from your home to high ground.
If there is sufficient interest in an Emergency Cache Container for Surfside, the Emergency Management Com-
mittee will pursue options available to us. Please indicate if you are interested in such a program for our com-
munity by answering the following questions so we can determine the level of interest and potential costs.
Any additional questions, comments or suggestions you might have are welcomed.
I would be interested in storing my emergency kit in a secured container situated in a high elevation site
within Surfside.
YES ○ NO ○
I would be willing to pay a small fee to support the acquisition of a storage container.
YES ○ NO ○
I would be willing to purchase approved 30 gallon plastic barrel to store my emergency supplies in.
YES ○ NO ○
Do you have any questions/comments/suggestions on this issue?
