The Governor has declared Emmet County a State of Emergency, and power outages persist throughout the region, including Bay View. The National Guard has been deployed to assist first responders, powerline crews, and tree removal teams. A travel advisory is in place and residents are strongly urged to stay home and limit travel to essential trips only. We recognize the uncertainty this brings and want to assure you that our top priorities are the well-being of our staff and the peace of mind of our members.

We are following our structured Crisis Response Plan which includes:

1. Make our grounds safe and secure our campus – in progress

2. Assess all cottages and grounds damage and communicate findings – pending

3. Develop a recovery plan including repairs, tree and brush removal, etc. – upcoming

We remain in the first phase, focusing on safety and stabilization. We will continue to provide daily updates to keep you informed.

The Bay View offices remain closed until further notice. However, we are committed to keeping you updated. As soon as it is safe, we will conduct an exterior check of every cottage and notify owners of any urgent damage. In the meantime, we appreciate your patience as we navigate this evolving situation. Please follow us on Facebook for updates.
