A little about our community

      The Foxridge Development started in 1975 and the Civic Association was founded in 1977.  Today Foxridge is a residential community of 700 homes in Orange Park (Clay County) Florida, just South of Jacksonville Florida with two entrances off of Blanding Blvd.  Within our community we have a county park with tennis courts and a playground.  The Foxridge Community Park was the first of its kind in Clay County, designed uilt through efforts and donations of residents and local businesses in 1988.  It is now county property with rules and regulations falling under Clay County Jurisdiction.   Foxridge has an active HOA Board of Directors comprised of 4 volunteer members and various committees as well. 

     Orange Park (Clay County) is located in Northeast Florida minutes from beaches, downtown Jacksonville, and historic St. Augustine.   Clay County is home to nearly 200,000 residents that enjoy beautiful weather, lakes, rivers, and year round sporting activities of all kinds.   We boast that our Foxridge community is bicycle friendly and definitely a walkable community.

        The Foxridge Homeowners and Civic Association, Inc. was approved as a corporation under the Corporations Not For Profit Law of the State of Florida, as set forth in Part One of Chapter 617 of the Florida Statutes.  Our Certificate of Incorporation was effective August 2, 1977, Charter Number 739816.  Our Association has a perpetual existence and is updated each year by the secretary of our Association and 2020 will be our 43rd year of existence.

        The primary purpose for which our Association was formed is to further the common good and general welfare of the people of the subdivision of Foxridge.  We are charged to provide beautification, maintenance, repair, improve all common areas of our subdivision and promote goodwill and social interaction among our residents/members.

From the President

Dear Neighbors,

     My name is Walt Gallahan and I was elected to be the President of the Foxridge Home Owners Association for the upcoming year. I want to introduce myself to the neighborhood and tell you a little about myself. My wife  and I have been residents of the neighborhood for the past 28 years and have lived and worked in the Clay and Jacksonville area.  I want to see the neighborhood, thrive, and be an example of how a vibrant neighborhood should be while striving to be progressive.   I hope to keep Foxridge a wonderful place to raise a family and enjoy retired life. Being able to serve the community you live in is one of the greatest joys you can have.

Walt Gallahan

Hurricane Preparedness:

Refer to the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Ready.gov/hurricanes for comprehensive information on hurricane preparedness at home and in your community.

Some highlights on how to prepare and take action are available below:

•Gather Information
•Plan & Take Action
•Recover
•Resources

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Gather Information

Know if you live in an evacuation area. Assess your risks and know your home's vulnerability to storm surge, flooding and wind. Understand National Weather Service forecast products and especially the meaning of NWS watches and warnings.

Contact your local National Weather Service office and local government/emergency management office. Find out what type of emergencies could occur and how you should respond.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Risk Analysis

Online hazard and vulnerability assessment tools are available to gather information about your risks.

•Check your hazards risks with FEMA's Map Portal.

•Rate your flood risk with the FloodSmart.gov portal.

Plan & Take Action

Everyone needs to be prepared for the unexpected. Your friends and family may not be together when disaster strikes. How will you find each other? Will you know if your children or parents are safe? You may have to evacuate or be confined to your home. What will you do if water, gas, electricity or phone services are shut off?

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Supplies Kit

Put together a basic disaster supplies kit and consider storage locations for different situations. Help community members do the same.

A basic emergency supply kit could include the following recommended items:

•Water - one gallon of water per person per day for at least three days, for drinking and sanitation
•Food - at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food
•Battery-powered or hand crank radio and a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert
•Flashlight
•First aid kit
•Extra batteries
•Whistle to signal for help
•Dust mask to help filter contaminated air and plastic sheeting and duct tape to shelter-in-place
•Moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties for personal sanitation
•Wrench or pliers to turn off utilities
•Manual can opener for food
•Local maps
•Cell phone with chargers and a backup battery

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Emergency Plans

Develop and document plans for your specific risks.

•Protect yourself and family with a Family Emergency Plan
•Be sure to plan for locations away from home
•Pet owners should have plans to care for their animals. The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention offer information on animal health impacts in evacuation shelters.
•Prepare your boat and be aware of marine safety if you are on or near the water.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Health & Environment

Follow guidelines to guard your community's health and protect the environment during and after the storm.

•Review the Centers for Disease Control's (CDC) health considerations before, during, and after a storm.
•Remember to follow the U.S. Food & Drug Administration's (FDA) food and water safety guidelines during disasters.
•Review the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) suggestions for health and environmental safety in disaster preparedness.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Evacuation

•Review the FEMA Evacuation Guidelines to allow for enough time to pack and inform friends and family if you need to leave your home. FOLLOW instructions issued by local officials. Leave immediately if ordered!
•Consider your protection options to decide whether to stay or evacuate your home if you are not ordered to evacuate.

When waiting out a storm be careful, the danger may not be over yet...

Be alert for:

•Tornadoes – they are often spawned by hurricanes.
•The calm "eye" of the storm – it may seem like the storm is over, but after the eye passes, the winds will change direction and quickly return to hurricane force.

Recover

•Wait until an area is declared safe before returning home.
•Remember that recovering from a disaster is usually a gradual process.
