Greetings Riceland Homeowners!

I hope everyone is staying cool this summer! I wanted to share a few quick updates from around the community:

• Landscape Services: The landscape assessment now only applies to 50' lots in the Canal District. Homes that are not 50' lots recently received a letter with the option to opt in or out of the service. If you received that letter and haven’t responded yet, please let us know your decision so we can update your account.
• Construction Areas: We understand construction can be inconvenient, and we’re working closely with builders to keep areas as clean and safe as possible. If you notice any issues, like nails or debris, please let us know so we can follow up.
• ARC Applications: Planning a home improvement project like a covered patio or outdoor lighting? Be sure to submit your ARC application before starting any work. If you have questions about the process or what’s required, we are happy to help!

Thank you for helping keep Riceland a beautiful place to live! If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Hurricane Season Is Here – Be Ready, Stay Safe!

Hurricane season officially began June 1st. While Mont Belvieu is no stranger to storms, each one can bring serious risks—from flooding and strong winds to tornadoes and power outages. It’s important to prepare early.

If you weren’t able to attend the Hurricane Preparedness Workshop presented by the City of Mont Belvieu on June 5th, you can watch the full recording below for helpful tips and guidance from the Mont Belvieu Fire Department and Emergency Management Team.

Make a Plan:

Here are some key steps to take when creating your family’s emergency plan:

• Choose an out-of-town emergency contact.
• Memorize key phone numbers and save “ICE” (In Case of Emergency) contacts in your phone.
• Ensure family members know how to send text messages if phone calls can’t get through.
• Talk through evacuation vs. shelter-in-place scenarios.

Build a Disaster Kit:

Prepare to leave quickly or shelter in place with these essentials:

• Flashlight & extra batteries
• NOAA Weather Radio
• Water: 1 gallon per person per day (3-day supply)
• First aid kit & medications
• Non-perishable food & manual can opener
• Pet supplies (food, leash, medicine, crate)
• Baby supplies
• Toiletries & change of clothes
• Copies of important documents (ID, insurance, etc.)
• Emergency contact list
• Tool kit
• Cash
