General Virus Prevention:  How to Protect Yourself & Others
 
It is important that we remain vigilant and work together as a community to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The CDC recommends continuing the following practices to prevent illness.

• Clean your hands often – Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds and/or use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth as much as possible.
• Avoid close contact – Limit contact with others as much as possible, especially contact with those who are sick. Keep a distance of at least 6-feet between yourself and others whenever possible. 
• Wear a face-covering – Everyone should wear a face-covering in public settings when around people not living in their household. Continue to keep 6-feet between yourself and others whenever possible. A face covering is not a substitute for social distancing.
• Cover coughs and sneezes – Always cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze. Throw away used tissues and wash your hands often.
• Clean and disinfect – Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. This includes tables, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets, faucets, and sinks. 

We ask for your cooperation as relates to practicing social distancing and the wearing of face coverings while in your community or interacting with your neighbors, other residents, and members of our team. Please follow all posted guidance at community offices and in amenity spaces. When using amenities please practice social distancing between households and take preventive measures to protect yourself and your family.

PCS Season Tips:
 

• Community offices are open by appointment only for in-person community and leasing office visits. Residents are encouraged to use our website, Resident Portal, telephone and/or e-mail to contact our team. Our team is adhering to social distancing guidelines (6-foot minimum), DoD face-covering guidance, enhanced personal protective equipment (PPE), and cleaning practices to prevent further spread of the virus. We ask that you wear a face covering and practice social distancing during interactions with our team. 
• We understand there is continued uncertainty for many residents related to PCS orders and travel. Our team is committed to working with you and your family as we navigate this unique PCS season. Please keep your community office up to date on changes to your orders, transportation dates, and exception to policy status. We understand the standard 30-day notice may not always be possible, but the more notice and communication we receive, the more flexible we can be.
• We have re-opened many outdoor amenities including playgrounds managed by North Haven Communities. The danger of exposure to COVID-19 still exists and by utilizing outdoor amenities you take responsibility for your and your family’s own protection while agreeing to follow CDC and DoD prevention guidance and all posted amenity guidelines.  The re-opening of the remaining indoor community amenities will occur in phases and generally in-sync with local installation and community guidelines. This may happen independently of other steps taken during this transition period.
• You are encouraged to use the Resident Portal for online rent payments, access to community forms and resources, to submit routine service orders and to check on the status of your service orders. We are temporarily waiving credit and debit card fees on payments completed through the Resident Portal for your convenience.  
• Please continue to call in an emergency and urgent service orders through the Maintenance Hotline at 907-356-7000 option 1 so our team can safely address them in a timely manner. Routine service orders can be called in or submitted through the Resident Portal or App.  
• Limited self-help items such as lightbulbs are available for delivery upon request.
