The Claremont Board of Directors is reaching out to ALL residents as every day brings new developments related to the virus, and the uncertainty can be unsettling. Needless to say, age, potentially weaker immune systems, and in some cases poor overall health contribute to making our community vigilance even more important. Each of us needs to be committed to stopping the virus from spreading.

Self-Quarantine Steps
Neighbor Helping Neighbor Initiative - Collect Neighbor (Zone Buddy) and Family Member emergency contact information.
Six weeks ago, the Emer. Prep. Committee asked Zone Leaders to collect resident emergency information - specifically asking residents to voluntarily provide a neighbor contact (Zone Budd) and a Family member contact. The information will be added to your Resident Zone Roster and circulated to each resident within your zone. Information will not be used in a community wide database. Unfortunately, we are just starting down this path. Your Neighbor Point of Contact/Zone Buddy information is now more critical as those who might enter quarantine will depend on their Zone Buddy for support as explained on the Claremont Quarantine Banner. To expedite this information flow, we are requesting that you soonest provide it to your Zone Leader or simply send complete information to the front office (Nealy).
