For anyone who is currently at MFC this week is there any evacuations or special prep that the MFC management is doing? Wishing anyone there a safe next couple of days.
Best wishes,

We have flights and reservations on Friday morning. The website just say monitoring the storm and still operational. I'm wondering too what prep there is for those on site now. I'm pretty sure we won't be making there.....just hope everyone there is safe.For anyone who is currently at MFC this week is there any evacuations or special prep that the MFC management is doing?

Fortunately (for SC), based on the current path....Florida is expected to take the biggest blow, and last report I saw had the status downgraded to a level 1 by the time it did the second landfall in GA/SC.Warily looking at Irma's projected path for possible impacts to Hilton Head. Current National Hurricane Center forecast brings it onshore right on Georgia/South Carolina border on Monday afternoon, putting HHI on the strongest side of the eye wall. Until Matthew, they hadn't had a hurricane strike in 100 years; now maybe two direct hits in less than 12 months.
We're supposed to check-in to Grande Ocean on an exchange in a little over a week on the 15th, so that is obviously in definite jeopardy. The forecast direct hit would shut the island down for weeks, just like Matthew did.

I recall reading after Hurricane Matthew that although the resorts have insurance through whichever channel, as you would expect, the excess on the policy is so high that this explains why the repair costs necessitate the Special Assessments which had to be paid by owners.Thoughts and prayers to all impacted by Irma.
My understanding is that all resorts are insured in some way through Marriott. I got that understanding from someone working at the Heritage Club on HHI who was told Marriott was forcing the construction to be completed by a certain timeframe or insurance would not be renewed.
Does anyone know if MVCI is self insured for the resorts, have individual policies through MVCI or one policy that all resorts fall under.
