Crisis Management Support and Resources
Each community managed by Life Care Services has plans in place for all types of natural disasters: tornado, hurricane, and flood, and conducts monthly training on a variety of safety topics. For communities in areas where hurricanes are prevalent, community leadership begins reevaluating their hurricane preparedness in May, fine-tuning and adjusting their plans as necessary.
In October 2016, Hurricane Matthew, a Category 4 storm, hit Savannah, Georgia and Greenville, North Carolina. Because two communities in the path of the storm, Cypress Glen and The Marshes at Skidaway Island are managed by Life Care Services, the executive directors were able to access invaluable support from the company and from its network of communities during the hurricane.
