Perdido Key Inclement Weather Update 10/07/2018

We hope that everyone is enjoying their time here in Perdido Key! 

Please know that our property management office has been watching the track of the storm. Currently, we're not fearful that it will have much impact on our area however we've likely been through storms many more times than most of our vacationers. We will continue to watch the projected path and effects on nhc.noaa.gov which is the source we rely on for updates regarding inclement weather as, unlike the news channels and other weather websites, it is not driven by viewership. 
In order to prepare for the possibility of wind gusts in our area, if you're going to be here over the next couple days, it would be greatly appreciated if you could bring in anything lightweight from the balcony. If you are unable, please call(850-492-9999) or email([email protected]) our office today and we will send one of our team members over. Our office will be closed at 6pm on Tuesday and remain closed on Wednesday, but we will reopen Thursday morning at 8am as usual. 

Things to know about inclement weather protocols for vacation rental properties:

1. If the property has storm shutters, they must remain until the weather has passed for at least 24 hours.
2. If the property has a balcony, lightweight items such as furniture or decor must come inside until the weather has passed.
3. Your safety is our priority, but property managers do not provide advice on whether to stay or leave. While our risk tolerance is likely higher than our vacationers, it is up to each individual person to make a judgement call which they feel comfortable with in regards to stay or leave the area.
4. Gates to condo complexes are typically left open during inclement weather.
5. If there is a leak or damage which arises during inclement weather, we will have to wait until the weather has passed before dispatching a repair person.
6. Trip insurance provides refunds for any days when a mandatory evacuation is in place, but only for those days.
7. Bridges are temporarily closed when winds are over 39 miles per hour.
8. If there is a power outage, please report it to Gulf Power at 800-487-6937 and our office 850-492-9999.

We're sending you this information as a precaution. Again, we're currently not fearful that this will have much impact on our area. Hopefully, that remains the case! 
We hope you enjoy the week and know that after any inclement weather, is when it is best to comb the beaches for really neat shells!
