Emergency Management Division
In the unlikely event a hurricane or other disaster strikes, access may be limited to some parts of your community or roads may be blocked entirely with debris. Emergencies and disasters can strike quickly and without warning and can force you to evacuate or confine you to your home. Should the Governor declare an emergency, at the option and consent of the Board, Ameri-Tech’s Community Emergency Response Team will be there to help!
Because emergency services personnel will not be able to immediately help every community to clear blocked roads and parking lots, AMERI-TECH can make a difference. Our Managers are FEMA Certified and by working as a team, will be able to do the greatest good for the properties under our management.
