RAINY SEASON The rainy season has started and so far, we are having a very wet season. Heavy rain is in the forecast.

Rainfall rate is generally described as light, moderate or heavy. ...

Heavy rainfall is more than 0.30 inches of rain per hour. Rainfall amount is described as the depth of water reaching the ground, typically in inches or millimeters (25 mm equals one inch). An inch of rain is exactly that, water that is one inch deep.

We need your help in preventing flooded streets.

Here is what you need to know.

To Advertise Call: (954) 922-7404

Out flow of water from the Storm Drains is affected by the following conditions:

Accumulation of debris on the grate – easily resolved.

The level of water in the collecting lakes - The higher the level the slower the outflow. It does not mean the drains are clogged. It just takes a longer time for the water to run off, especially if the outflow pipe is covered by the water in the collecting lake.

The amount of rain that is currently being received – Sometimes the rain is just too much. Although the drains are functioning perfectly, it will still take a little time for the water to run off.

16

Here’s how to help 1. Have your landscapers clean up after curring the grass and trimming the trees.

2. If water is accumulating on the street, when it is safe to do so, please check the drain in front of your property. Remove the debris or any item preventing the run off.

3. Our staff will continue to clean up our community daily. If you see something needing immediate attention, please contact our customer service office at 954-443-7192 between the hours of 9:00 am until 6:00 pm. After hour contact our security guardhouse at 954-443-0160. Lifesaving emergency call 911

Flooding Prevention

Hello

My name is Brenda Salo Henriquez, I am your neighborhood State Farm Agent. I have lived in the community since 1998, my husband and I love raising our two small children here.

Becoming a State Farm Agent has been my lifelong dream, opening my office in our wonderful community is an honor. I have worked in the insurance industry for 20 years, 15 have been with State Farm. I will be there to deliver on the State Farm promise, my passion is helping people prepare for their future and for the unexpected.

What to AVOID

Give my team and I the opportunity to help you with all of your insurance and financial service needs such as auto insurance, homeowners insurance, life insurance and so many other policies we have to make sure you have a plan in place should the unexpected happen.

Prevents Flooding

Hurricane Preparedness The hurricane season will officially begin on June 1st and ends on November 30th. Hurricane preparedness should be a priority in your home. Planning ahead helps to safeguard lives and property. The best time to plan for securing your home, assemble your disaster kit and where to stay during the storm is before hurricane season begins.

Photograph the interior, exterior, and contents of your home for insurance verification. Have a plan for your pets.

Storm drains and catch basins, which were created to prevent trash and debris from entering a drainage system, flow into a natural body of water, like a stream, a river, or a lake. The influx of water during a hurricane can cause major problems to our city’s infrastructure. With nowhere else to go, when those bodies of water reach their capacity, sewage waste has nowhere else to go but into your home.

Luckily, there are ways to prevent this. Here are a few simple things you can do to prepare your plumbing for hurricane season: 1. Clean out the area drain covers around your property. Just one clogged area drain grating can cause flooding.

2. Make sure the caps or plugs on your sewer trap are sealed tight. If they look old or ill-fitting, replace them immediately.

3. And, most importantly, be proactive about drain maintenance. The best time to have a professional troubleshoot your property for potential problems is before the winds and rains.

Damage caused by flying debris is one of the major threats associated with a hurricane. Securing loose items on your property should be part of your standard preparation when a high wind storm is approaching.

On behalf of Sunset Lakes Master Association Board of Directors, we would like to wish everyone a safe hurricane season.
