Keeping You Informed – Hurricane Prep

Tropical Storm Ida

The BCHOA is watching the news carefully and monitoring the forecasts for Tropical Storm Ida. The storm is predicated to start impacting our area over the weekend. There is the potential for winds higher than 40 mph and rainfall of up to 15 inches.

In anticipation of possible tropical-storm-force winds, we are closing the right-hand member lanes at the MAIN and EAST gates and disabling the barrier gate security arms. This measure is to prevent wind damage of the automated gate arms. The right-hand member lanes will be closed today, Friday, August 27th, at 2:00 pm and remain closed through Monday, August 30th.

BCHOA Public Works (PW) Staff have implemented storm protocols including:
• Inspection of all community drainage ditches and culverts and debris removal if needed
• All equipment is fueled and tested including generators, chain saws, pumps, trackhoe, backhoe, dump truck and trailers
• Adequate diesel and gasoline fuel is stored to operate equipment & generators through the storm’s potential impact
• BCHOA Storm Protocols for water and sewerage locations are implemented

We have several forms of communication in place if we are impacted directly by a hurricane. The Beau Chêne Homeowners Association website is www.bchoa.org. Messages and updates will be posted to the site when access is available and on our member only Facebook page at www.facebook.com/groups/BeauCheneHOA/ and our public Facebook page at www.facebook.com/BeauCheneCommunity/ .

The Beau Chêne Homeowners Association’s hotline phone number is 1- (314)–272-0288. Please make note of this hotline phone number. This is a message only hotline to keep residents – especially evacuated residents – informed of conditions in Beau Chêne and is only active during storm events. Please refrain from leaving messages when calling this number.

The BCHOA Emergency Notification System (ENS) will be used if circumstances require an immediate notification. ENS messages may be needed if a road becomes blocked with debris or flood waters.
