Potential Roof Replacements

Architectural Control Committee Chair James Kadlick reports that many neighbors have called about potential roof replacements; as long as no new structural work is being done residents do not need to go through any approval process to put on a new roof.

The only requirements (per our Deed Restrictions) are as follows: "All new or replacement roofs shall be constructed from fire retardant roofing material with a rated life of twenty (20) years or greater. No wood shingle roofs shall be used on any buildings."

WMCC Veep Dan Oko Has Another Article in Texas Highways

Check out the May 2013 issue of Texas Highways. Dan Oko has a six page article (with photos by E. Dan Klepper) entitled "Child in the Wild: Learning and bonding on a father-daughter camping trip."

Dan and daughter Ursula camped at four parks among several stops on an eight-day trip through south-central and west Texas, including critter encounters ranging from a javelina through wild turkey to a black bear. Nice work all around, Dan; especially enlightening was the "Tips for camping with kids" sidebar!

Do You Know Your Hurricane Threat?

Following hurricanes Rita and Ike, the City of Houston and Rice University developed the Storm Risk Calculator to help Houston residents have a better understanding of the threat they might face from the various effects of hurricanes and tropical storms. The calculator is aimed at helping Houstonians make informed decisions about evacuating prior to or after a hurricane.

The calculator shows threat levels throughout the city in an easy-to-understand, color-coded map.

Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)

Houston's Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program, part of the Mayor's Office of Public Safety and Homeland Security, "trains ordinary citizens in how to help themselves and their neighbors in the event of disasters. In addition, because of the training that CERT volunteers undergo, they are often called upon to assist in organizing disaster response as well." (from the Houston CERT Program web site)

For more information about the CERT program, you can view the presentation that was given at the March 2012 General Meeting, visit the Houston CERT Program web site and/or the CERT Willow Meadows Facebook page, or contact the This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
