Associa Making Remarkable Progress with Relief Efforts in Los Cabos

September 30, 2014

San Jose Del Cabo, Mexico - Associa,  the nation’s largest community association management firm, is making a  dramatic impact with its humanitarian and restoration efforts in the  hardest hit regions of Los Cabos, Mexico in the aftermath of Hurricane  Odile.

It’s been only two weeks since the Category 3 hurricane  came ashore, and thanks in part to Associa’s quick response, the region  is already showing signs of resurgence as survival supplies have arrived  and reconstruction within communities is underway.  The company’s  non-profit agency, Associa Cares, gave more than $100,000 to families in  need and so far Associa is one of the only organizations able to bring  construction supplies into the country via ground and air.

“We  just received our third airfreight shipment of supplies and have been  working non-stop for almost a week with our restoration experts on the  ground,” says Associa Senior Vice President Chris Harrison, who is  personally assisting with the efforts in Mexico.

The majority of  all properties in the area suffered moderate to severe damage,  including the Associa Mexico office and 15 Associa-managed communities.  More than half of those communities have been fully restored throughout  the common areas including debris clean-up, pool restoration,  landscaping remodeling and safety and security measures taken to  board-up broken out windows and doors.

“I’m extremely impressed  with how quickly our Associa teams put the crisis plans into action and  worked tirelessly to face any and all issues that arose,” says Associa  Executive Vice President & COO Joey Carona. “You have plans for  things like this, but until it happens you just don’t know how you’ll  truly react.  I’ve got to say the Associa family has shown its true  spirit and commitment to taking care of its employees and communities,  and I couldn’t be more proud.”
