Hurricane Safety at The Preserve at Dunedin

 

At The Preserve at Dunedin, safety is more than a promise—it’s our foundation. Built to withstand Category 5 hurricanes and fully powered by a whole-building generator, our community is a true safe haven during Florida’s hurricane season from June through November.

A Safe Haven for Residents, Families, and Pets

When storms threaten, The Preserve at Dunedin opens its doors to more than just residents. We welcome families, team members, and pets—because everyone deserves safety. Unlike many communities that rely on partial generators, our full-building generator powers every inch of our community, keeping everyone safe, comfortable, and connected.

Hurricane-Rated for Category 5 Storms

Our building is constructed to the highest safety standards, designed to withstand the powerful winds and impact of a Category 5 hurricane. From reinforced structures to impact-resistant windows, every detail is built for protection and peace of mind.

Whole-Building Generator

While most senior living communities only power essential areas during an outage, The Preserve at Dunedin stands apart with a whole-building generator. Our entire community remains fully powered, including:

  • Air conditioning and heating in all apartments and common areas
  • Full kitchen operations to provide uninterrupted meals
  • Elevators for safety and mobility
  • Medical equipment and emergency systems

Our generator exceeds Florida state requirements, ensuring every resident stays safe, comfortable, and cared for—no matter how long the power is out.

Prepared to Shelter in Place

In addition to our reinforced building and full backup power, The Preserve at Dunedin is fully stocked and prepared to shelter residents in place during a hurricane. We maintain:

  • A one-week supply of food and water for every resident
  • 24/7 staffing for care and safety
  • Emergency supplies and medical support

Keeping Families Informed

Communication is crucial during a hurricane, and we are committed to keeping families connected and informed every step of the way. We provide:

  • Real-Time Updates on our website and social media channels throughout the storm
  • Direct Messaging Service via text, email, or phone call to primary family contacts for timely updates and important information

  • Full access to our hurricane-rated building and whole-building generator
  • 24/7 staffing and emergency support

  • Meals, medical care, and safety supplies
