Sorrento  at  The  Colony

Power Outage

In the event of a power outage, the Social Room and kitchen are connected to a generator. This means that even during an outage, you'll have access to a gathering space where you can meet, cook, charge your cell phones, and stay updated with important broadcasts.

 

The generator also powers essential components of our building. It ensures partial garage lighting, keeps the garage doors and gates operational, and provides necessary lighting in the hallways.

 

When the wind subsides and any water intrusion is cleared, the elevators will also be operational thanks to the generator.

​

AED Units

AED Units (automated external defibrillator) are located in the fitness room and at the swimming pool.
