What IS Security at Lava Ranch?
: WHAT is it going to take to get "YOU" involved in
the security at Lava Ranch? What type of emergency...vandalism...abuse of roads and property...tragedy?!?
The Security person for Lava Ranch can do only so much...and cannot be everywhere
and see everything! Many cities and communities have learned the value of using
"Neighborhood Watch" to watch for potential problems or "strangers" with devilment
in mind...should WE as part of our mountain community, be less watchful? Less helpful
to our neighbors and surroundings? Less protective of the prevention of tragedy?
We are supposed to be a "gated community", yet our gates are seldom closed! The
gates are to provide control of persons and vehicles entering and exiting ... thereby
providing 'some' control of vandalism, abuse of roads and property, and 'some'fire
prevention safety.
So, what about "YOU"? Are you ready to step up and do "YOUR" part to help Lava
Ranch be a safe and enjoyable area? With everyone "CARING" and "SHARING", the
responsibility should not be a burden, but the safer enjoyment of the area should be
available to all!
So...WHAT ABOUT YOU? What about the Safety and Security of Lava Ranch? Will
"YOU" help?
