chapters, and the community associations industry in general to follow the latest guidance and updates issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. CAI understands that members, homeowners, board members, community association managers, management company executives, and business partners may have questions about prevention, containment, classes, and events. It is important to recognize, however, that CAI, its chapters, and individual members are not healthcare professionals. The CDC and other qualified health officials should continue to be the primary source of current information and guidance. CAI is offering general, precautionary guidance from officials and adding some common-sense guidelines for our industry.

WHAT COMMUNITY ASSOCIATIONS CAN DO Community associations should review or establish an emergency plan in consultation with legal counsel, insurance and risk management experts, and their manager. This plan could address whether it's possible to conduct association business remotely, how to handle common areas and amenities, anti-discrimination compliance, wage and hour laws if the association employs staff, and communication with residents. Community associations are welcome to download and adapt a sample letter developed by CAI that covers some of the steps your community may take or has taken to address the COVID-19 outbreak.
