Welcome New Residents Barbara and Bill White built a lovely home in Beacons Reach at 536 Coral Drive, about a year ago. They were formerly from Allendale, NJ. Barbara was originally from Huntersville, NC., but has been a native of New Jersey most of her life. She met Bill there where he was a newspaper man for the Hudson Dispatch. He later left that and went into public relations for KOHM Assoc, in Bergen County. Barbara was selling specialist for Lord and Taylor in the Ridgewood Shopping Area. They have four children. Scott, the youngest, and wife, Julie, have one son and live Syracuse, NY. Bill is single and lives in Wycoff, NJ. Debra, who is married to George Murray has three children and lives in Mendham, NJ. Richard is the oldest and is married to Regina, with two children and lives in Charlotte, NC. Barbara and Bill travel back and forth from Charlotte to New Jersey to New York. Rt. 81 is almost "home" for them. They have been vacationing in this area for 20 years and decided to retire here. Barb loves to paint in oils and pastels and is quite accomplished. She enjoys doing people and animals and her work is exquisite. Bill enjoys golf, loves to write and someday wants to do the "American Novel." He also enjoys poker and hopes to find someone to play along with. Betty Lee Foulk To aJUL ol you we. uL6k in tht wdfLme^t way, A wondzAiul and happy Tkankigivjing Pai/, Ptiblte NQtlflcatiPn on Ftood Hazards. Availability of Flood Insurance and/or Flood Protection Measures Research has proven that simple awareness of the hazards is not enough; people need to t)e told what they can do about It. The purpose of this notification is to inform the citizens of PKS of the flood hazards and suggest possible actions you can take to protect yourself and your property. Flood Hazard PKS' oceanfront and estuarine ahorelines are extremely vulnerable to a variety of natural hazards such as hurricanes, northeasters, storm-induced erosion and flooding brought on by storms, heavy rains and unusual lunar tides. Hunicanes, the greatest storms on Earth, produce tidal surges which poses one of the most devastating fkxxl haard threats to PKS. Oceanfront properties could be subject to "wave action" velocities. Flood Warning If corxlitions are favorable for humcane development, a hurricane watch will be issued. The conditions are announced over local radio(WBTB 1400 AM/107.3 FM. 106.5 WSFL) and television channels(WITN TV 7, WFXI TV 8, WNCT TV 9,CATV 10, WCTI TV 12, The Weather Channel-29 )by the National Weather Service (NCAA 162.400MHz, Newport). At this time, all residents should prepare for evacuation. Citizens should notify town hall of invalids or ottier persons requiring evacuation assignee.Re-entry passes should be validated arxl stamped. Wtien a hurricane has developed, a hurricane waming is issued. At least 18-36 hours waming time is given before probable landfall. An evacuation order will be issued over radio and television channels. Police will cruise town streets and issue evacuation notice by public address system and the PKS Emergency Management Organization will alert individual residences. There will be five (5) blast on the fire alarm signal. All PKS residents are to evacuate on NC 58 and use the Atlantic Beach Bridge. Evacuation of 75 miles or more inland is suggested. Flood Safety Early flood and hurricane wamings provide time for people in threatened areas to prepare, and by doing so, to lessen their damages, in addition, you vmII be better prepared if you consider the following suggestions: -Learn to recognize the waming signals and procedures; -Plan your evacuation route; -Evacuate when advised to do so; -lf,and only if, time permits, turn off all utilities at the main power switch and close the main gas valves when evacuation is imminent; -Fill tutis, sinks, and jugs with clean water in case regular supplies are corrtaminated; -Board up windows or protect them with stonn shutters or tape to prevent flying glass; -Bring outdoor possessions (i.e., lavwi furniture, trash cans, signs, etc.) inskle the house or tie them down securely; •Fk>oded areas are deceptive! Try to avoW fkx>ded areas and doni attempt to walk across stretches of flood waters more than knee deep. -Leam first aMI 5
