Business Resiliency

St. Armands residents have chosen this island for many reasons, not least of which is the ability to walk to all of the wonderful shops and eateries on the Circle.  We recognize that when these businesses thrive, so does our residential experience.  We support our local businesses, we shop and dine with them, and we enthusiastically hope for their success. 

We believe that commercial property owners and their business tenants need education, incentives, and/or new code requirements to enable them to re-open from structural flooding events more quickly. These include:

• raising all power outlets six feet from floors
• installing concrete or tile walls and floors (for easy cleaning post flooding)
• installing flood barriers
• having evacuation plans to raise up or remove inventory, equipment, and furnishings
