In order to ensure the safety and well being of the Homeowners and their guests at Horizon, please note the following:
All gate entrances to Horizon must be kept locked at all times.
Keeping gates and doors open by a door-stop or any other means is a violation of our rules and it is your responsibility that any deliveries, contractors and guests are aware of this.
Glass is strictly forbidden in the pool area. A single broken glass or bottle, due to the injuries it may cause if it got into the pool, would necessitate draining and cleaning the pool. In that event, the responsible party would be held accountable for associated costs.
It is your responsibility to observe all the posted pool rules at all times.
Safety tips:
1. Physically get to know your immediate neighbors by name and sight.
2. Inspect your property. Be sure you have deadbolt exterior locks and window locks or bars close together.
3. Install motion lights near any vulnerable exterior and interior patio area.
4. Consider electronic protection from a service or purchase at Costco.
5. Hide valuables – don’t use interior safes. Lock your computer keyboard and put a Spanish note on it saying it is locked. Don’t leave valuables in sight in a car.
6. Appoint someone to watch your place randomly in your absence.

Elevator
In case of Fire or an emergency at Horizon that would require you to exit the building, do not use the elevators. Either use the stairs to descend to the ground floor or access the bridges on the 5th and 6th floors of the North Tower and 3rd floor of the South Tower.
Fire Extinguishers
We currently have 21 Fire Extinguishers. There are 8 in the North Tower, 1 on each floor next to the elevator doors, except the first floor, where it is located in front of the elevator. There are 4 in the South Tower next to the elevator doors. There is 1 in the Front Lobby. There are 2 in Horizon Fitness. For a diagram of the location of 6 Fire Extinguishers in the parking garages,

Gas

Hurricane Preparedness
Puerto Vallarta is in the tropics, which means tropical storms and even hurricanes are normal occurrences throughout rainy season. Luckily for visitors to the city, Puerto Vallarta has a couple of natural barriers which prevent storms from entering the city. The predominant wind pattern is from the SW, which causes approaching weather patterns to be weakened over Cabo Corriente. In addition, the Bay of Banderas acts as a natural buffer, keeping the storms out to sea instead of entering the city. As a result, Puerto Vallarta has the enviable position of being virtually hurricane-free all year round.

Travel Safety
Water Shutoff
There is a master water shutoff valve for each unit, typically located just outside the front door behind a vented door. Be sure you know where this valve is located (the blue valve is off when the handle is at 90 degrees to the pipe). In the event a leak occurs, it is imperative to turn this valve off immediately to limit damage. In the event water enters a unit from above, it is imperative to notify administration and take steps to turn off any appropriate shutoff valves for condos above.
