Imagine this: you are hours away from your cherished family retreat, a cozy cabin nestled in the beautiful Pocono Mountains. A snow and ice storm sweeps through the region, making headlines. Power and internet are down rendering your cameras inoperable. Roads are treacherous.
You’re left wondering: Is everything okay at the house? Are the pipes frozen? Is the roof holding up under the weight of the snow?
Making the long drive or even catching a last-minute flight, just to check on your property, isn’t always possible.
When you don't have someone local who can be your eyes and ears on site you may be scrambling for what to do next.
Your first call or email could be to your homeowners association.
Larger communities have full time office staff to handle your request. While smaller communities are not staffed full time, they should still be able to get back to you within a reasonable amount of time to provide you with a local conditions update.
Some communities also maintain webcams accessible via their members' website.
If the property is not in a community and you don't have any nearby neighbors that live here full time, we have provided links below to several local resources that may be of use.
