SAFETY AND EMERGENCY TIPS AND PROCEDURES
FIRE SAFETY
All unit occupants are required to evacuate the unit when a fire is
detected or an alarm goes off. This procedure is necessary so that
everyone can be accounted for. If there is no alarm in your building
and you suspect a fire or other emergency vacate your unit and
knock on your neighbors’ doors to make them aware of the situation.
It is mandatory that all rental units have a fire extinguisher. It is
advisable that all unit owners have a fire extinguisher.
If your unit has a double keyed deadbolt, leave one key near or in
the door.
Leave your belongings; take your key.
Stay low near the floor if there is fire or smoke.
Do not use the elevator.
DUNE SAFETY
No one may climb on or be on the dunes. To do so is against the law
and can result in fines. In addition, the dunes are habitat for animals,
including venomous rattlesnakes. Pygmy rattlesnakes are
among those found in the beach dunes. They look like babies. They
are poisonous. If you are bitten, go to the hospital quickly.
BEACH SAFETY
St. Johns County beaches have a flag warning system. Red means
high hazard, high surf and/or strong currents; rip currents are pres-ent;
stay out of the water. Yellow means medium hazard, moderate
surf and/or currents; exercise caution. Green means low hazard,
calm conditions, exercise caution, but conditions for swimming are
good. Purple means dangerous marine life is active and present. It
is always combined with red, yellow, or green in a two color flag. A
red over yellow flag flown from the lifeguard towers means there
are lifeguards on duty. It has no danger significance.
Rip currents are the most dangerous natural hazards in Florida.
They occur when water is rapidly pulled out to sea by a combination
of gravity and waves. They are narrow. If you are caught in one,
don’t panic. Don’t fight its pull. Swim parallel to shore until you feel
the current relax, and then swim to shore.
Swim near a lifeguard.
Closely supervise your children at the beach.
Swimming and alcohol don’t mix. Alcohol is a major factor in drownings.
Having alcohol at the beach violates St. Johns County law.
If you are stung by jellyfish, see the lifeguard. They have treatment
for stings.
Never swim alone, swim only during the day, and when in trouble,
signal others by yelling for help.
Shark attacks are extremely rare. To avoid a shark scare:
Don’t swim near fishing activities;
Stay landward of the last sandbar beyond the breaking waves;
Do not wear jewelry; it looks like fish scales to a shark;
Do not swim in the early morning or evening when they hunt;
Do not swim in murky water or dim light.
