Emergency Preparedness at CHOA

Written by

Please note that a group of dedicated neighbors have developed a Disaster Preparedness plan to help all of CHOA in the case of a Disaster.   Below you will find some great information of what you need to do and who you need to contact.

Between May and July 2018, each household is being given a red booklet titled “Charbonneau Country Club Emergency Preparedness Plan,” in which you will find information about readiness planning for your own home.  In addition, there are specific, CHOA related materials included in the CCC packet for your reference and detailed below.

CHOA Disaster Plan

Core Principle: “Shelter in Place”

1 Stay in your home and take care of your family and household safety
2 Follow the guidelines in the CCC Emergency Preparedness Plan, starting with “What to Do NOW!
3 The CHOA Emergency Preparedness Team will gather at Rec Hall C, adjacent to the pool on Lafayette Way.
4 Emergency Preparedness Team members will begin checking all CHOA neighborhoods.
5 Households with the “HELP” sign displayed will be assisted first.
6 After assessing the impact of the disaster, the Emergency Preparedness Team members will develop a Disaster Response Plan.
7 The CHOA Disaster Response Plan details will be communicated either door-to-door or via available communication technology.

What To Do NOW!

  1. Take care of loved ones.
  2.  Protect your head, feet and hands.
  3. Check natural gas or propane.
  4. Shut off water at the house main.
  5. Place the HELP or OK sign.
  6. Put the fire extinguisher on the sidewalk.
  7. The CHOA Emergency Preparedness Team will gather at Rec Hall C and begin executing the Disaster Response Plan.
  8. Households with the “HELP” sign displayed will be assisted first.
  9. Details of The CHOA Disaster Response Plan will be communicated to you either door-to-door or via available communication technology.

Sprinklers will be turned on this weekend

Written by

Please note that we will be running the sprinklers on Saturday night (May 12th) and Monday (May 14th) at 50% because of the hot weather which is forecast. This isn’t the start of full-time watering.  That won’t start till the pumps go in the river probably late May or early June.

Per the Golf Course- ” We usually wait until were comfortable that the river levels won’t rise.  We think we can have the river pump operational within the next 1 – 2 weeks.  In the meantime, water as needed to maintain what you have, but encourage your landscapers to be judicious, I don’t think anything in the 10-day forecast will necessitate mid-summer type irrigation.

We’ll let you know when we have the pump in the river, we’re currently working through a couple logistical issues, but should have those resolved shortly”.

Spring Snail Alert

Spring is here – and so are the snails who love to dine on our leafy green plants, especially hostas.  Garron has treated with an initial application of snail and slug bait. We are recommending that homeowners continue treating their plants to defeat these pests.

Be Aware and Be Safe

Please note that a Coyote was spotted April 24th on the Golf cart path next to Red 6 coming from the direction of F&G pool.  A Coyote was found dead later that day on the road to Langdon Farms but we are not sure this was the same animal.  Please be careful with your pets.

In addition a resident of Charbonneau Village woke to find someone shinning a light into her bedroom window.   If you experience suspicious activity please respond as follows:

  1. If you feel in danger call 911

  2. If you see something that does not seem “right” but you don’t feel in danger: between the hours of 8:00 pm and 3:00 am call First Response 503-207-5300.
    c. During the day 7:00 am to 8:00 pm call Steve 503-312-0927 or 503-682-0234
Please note that we appreciate each homeowners role in keeping our neighborhood safe.
