PRIMARY THREATS
- Forest Fires:
Because our homes are all surrounded by our common-area forest, fires are the most immediate threats. With only one two-lane road leading out of the Pointe, evacuation would be difficult, and fire trucks would need the north-bound lane to get into the Pointe.
- Earthquakes:
A major earthquake could damage or destroy the only bridge to Harstine Island, in addition to whatever damage is done to our homes, clubhouse, and to our people.
It is important that every resident at Hartstene Pointe is responsible to be prepared for these threats. The DPREP Committee conducts monthly training drills that are open to all Pointe residents, and provides links to important resources for personal planning: Emergency Disaster & Personal Planning
